FreeBSD 3D Desktop (XGL/AIGLX/...) how to start?

[Tsu-Fan Cheng]

yeah, i conquer. I tried to start beryl in .xinitrc just like some window
manager (e.g. fluxbox), all I got is some background and no further action.

  so I guess its good to couple beryl to something else. Can anyone suggest
some desktop manager that is not so bloated? thank you!!
