Tags: patch That patch fixes the issue with slim. Now slim works when starting on boot, when started post-boot and when restarted due to X session logout. The quilt patch used is attached.
Cheers, Mike. Note if you try to stop or restart slim it doesn't work but this is a non-kfreebsd specific bug. Its been reported in "slim - cannot normally stop daemon" <http://bugs.debian.org/501828>.
Patch fixes issue on kfreebsd where slim only displays a black screen.
