can't get SLiM to work

I followed the wiki perfectly, added slim to the daemons, added openbox-session to xinitrc, still doesn't work:(

What happens and what doesn't happen?

Does slim start? Does it not go to openbox after logging in? You need to be a bit more specific.

Sorry. After boot, it just goes to CLI, I have to login by CLI, and startx. startx takes me directly to openbox

Maybe try the runlevel method instead. Remove the slim daemon from rc.conf and follow these steps.
