starting fluxbox with xdm ?

Hey there

i have been trying to get a graphical login for fluxbox with xdm.
i changed the line in /etc/initab from id:3.initdefault to id:5.initdefault and added xdm to the list of daemons to start in /etc/rc.conf

my issue is when it boots up and i log into to xdm, i get twm instead of fluxbox.
when i used startx, i got flux to start because i have it in /home/.xinitrc.

so... what can i do. twm is nice, but........

thanks for your help.

If .xinitrc works fine then try this :

cp ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession
