Using xdm and twm on freebsd 6.2

As simple as this seems to be I cannot get xdm and twm to play together.
What I would like to be able to do is log in using xdm and have the same
end result as if I had logged in from a text console and issued
"startx".

When I log in via a text console and issue "startx", I get the window
arrangement I set in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. This is the end
result I am trying to reach. The only difference being using xdm to log
in instead of text console.

The xsession-errors file is empty and I have tried .xinitrc
and .xsession files to no avail. The only option I see after logging in
via xdm is Failsafe/Default and this loads a blank, useless screen or
the screen goes blank and reloads the login page again. Using Google and
man pages, I have not been able to find an answer.

This is on an old Compaq Armada 7750MT laptop with 64mb ram and a
Pentium 166.

Thanks for any and all help/advise,
