--- Comment #3 from Yanhui He <[email protected]> ---
GDM can work after did the steps as below.

# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# vim /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
}
# pkg update -f
# pkg upgrade -f
# pkg install -y gnome gdm
# sysrc gnome_enable="YES"
# sysrc moused_enable="YES"
# sysrc gdm_enable="YES"
# vi /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf

Find and modify (or add) these lines under [daemon]:
[Daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=your_username  <---vmware here
# reboot

GNOME Desktop can auto login.

I think that running "pkg upgrade -f" before installing GNOME and GDM to avoid
compatibility issues with libraries such as GLib is critical.

Close the PR now.

Thanks!
