GDM is installed. Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time. This will result in gdm hanging or restarting constantly. Instead, add gdm_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. GDM will be started automatic on the next reboot. If Gnomekeyring/PAM integration was choosen, the keyring can be automatically unlocked if: 1) the password protecting it is the same as the password user 2) and the following directives using pam_gnome_keyring are added to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/pam.d/gdm-password: auth include system .... auth optional ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pam_gnome_keyring.so session include system .... session optional ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start It is recommended to put thouse directives at least after the system directives.
