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
