How to configure gdm for Xorg 7.2, see
"/usr/local/share/gnome/gdm/default.conf".

Add into "/usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf" next lines:

[server-Standard]
command=/usr/local/bin/X -audit 0 

[daemon]
DefaultPath=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
RootPath=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
StandardXServer=/usr/local/bin/X
