This isn't in the scope of the handbook (IMHO), and given the number
of DE's and WM's out there, ways to represent logon and logoff, this
is unnecessary. Besides, the page references other pages which go into
how to use the respective X11 environment in more gross detail than
the handbook should...

This is an issue that is just a learning experience with installing
X11 and is covered to some extent in
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html>.
A reference to pciconf -lv couldn't hurt though as a "gather process"
before configuring things.
