currently I'm emerging KiethP's xserver, but here's what I can't figure out.

1st off, I don't use gdm or the like

I currently have 'startx' set to launch Gnome & XFree 4.something-or-other

I want 'startxfce4' or 'startxkd' to launch XFCE4 on top of Freedesktop's XServer, how is it done?

I'm not removing XFree, as I dont' want to lose the stability, but I want to test freedesktop's xserver with xfce4.

here's my script:

/opt/fdo/bin/Xfbdev -ac :0 -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -screen 1280x1024x32 &
DISPLAY=:0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/fdo/lib/ /opt/fdo/bin/xcompmgr &
DISPLAY=:0 startxfce4

if you take the last line off that script, you can control whats starts by default in the rc.conf file also
