title: Cannot get gnome working on FreeBSD
body: <p>I am looking for help getting gnome running on a FreeBSD VM that I am standing up. Presently, when I log in, it takes me right to a console prompt for logging in instead of a GUI. If I log in as root and type "gdm" this is what I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>** (gdm): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
  
  ** (gdm): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have added the following, as root, to the /etc/rc.conf file</p>
  
  <pre><code>    gnome_enable=”YES”
  
      hald_enable=”YES”
  
      gdm_enable=”YES”
  
      dbus_enable=”YES”
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I also added the line <code>proc /proc procfs rw 0 0</code> to /etc/fstab</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? JUst as a side note, if I type startx I can get to a screen with xterm windows, and it seems like my mouse works there</p>
