Oh good, added the missing "!"in the condition. Maybe I should
have written the code more clearly in the first place:

        if [ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then
                /usr/local/bin/startx
        fi

It's great to use FreeBSD - "man tcgetattr" tells us that this
function is used to retrieve terminal capability data. In my
opinion, this indicates that there's something wrong with the
format or content of /etc/gettytab.

Checking this on my side reveals something strange: I have put
the profile name "autologin" as shown in my working (!) example
right after the "default" entry in /etc/gettytab; the "fixed speed
entries" then follow. Then, later on, near the file's end, there's
another entry with the same name. Strange... but works!

I would only guess a gettytab issue...
