Hello, I have problem with xdm and found out this message:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2007-September/005169.html

Hi all, after upgrading Xorg to version 7.3 xdm failed to start. A
short truss revealed that xdm reads its config files in
/usr/local/share/examples/xdm/ instead of (as expected and done in
7.2) /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/. Obviously, x11/xdm/Makefile adds
"--with-xdmconfigdir=${EXAMPLESDIR}
--with-xdmscriptdir=${EXAMPLESDIR}" to CONFIGURE_ARGS, which does not
only control the location of the included examples but also the paths
where xdm looks for its configuration. I guess this was missed in
testing because in these days nobody changes his xdm config :) Regards

I had a look in x11/xdm/Makefile and found out that the argument
${EXAMPLESDIR} has not fixed yet. Please tell me how to fix this error to
make xdm work normally.
