There was an xdm patch that was previously applied to the xorg-clients
package, which hasn't been included in the new seperate xdm package for
xorg-7.2. I opened a PR about this last week (ports/112932), and that PR
includes a version of the patch, if you want to try adding it to your
own ports tree:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=112932&getpatch=1
(save the patch in the directory "/usr/ports/x11/xdm/files", rebuild and
install the xdm port, restart xdm or reboot).
Regards,
Neil.
