change your /etc/rc.conf XSESSION to = gnome

it has to match something inside /etc/X11/Sessions/

under there i have Xfce4 so my XSESSION="xfce4"

dont put anything in .xintrc or if you made up a .xglintrc .. leave it blank

 

edit /usr/bin/startxgl

at the very end change the line like this

xinit $clientargs -- /usr/bin/Xgl :1 -br -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer $serverargs -deferglyphs 16 &

:1 is important that most guides leave out or at least to me it was

My very latest /etc/make.conf (XFCE4.4, XGL, ATI-DRIVERS, BERYL - ALL WORKING!!!)
