I upgraded and I get this now:

* Setting up xdm ...
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory (No such f
ile or directory)
* ERROR: could not start the Display Manager...
xdm: no process killed [ ok ]

I have to log in and start kdm manually.

Verify that kdm is configured as your display manager in /etc/rc.conf. Perhaps you accidentally nuked it with etc-update after your updates?

Is this set in /etc/rc.conf:

Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

Awesome, all fixed.

DISPLAYMANAGER has been moved to /etc/conf.d/xdm
