It was purposely removed, most users only need this if they're configuring a router/firewall and need to setup ip forwarding, or using a less-common video adapter that requires machdep.allowaperture, etc. ---------------------------- revision 1.59 date: 2014/07/15 08:28:43; author: deraadt; state: dead; lines: +1 -1; commitid: MuSa7uEqe7ky7CuP; sysctl.conf moves to etc/examples ---------------------------- This is unlikely to be related to the gdm problem you're seeing, for that you probably want to include dmesg, pkg_info (there has been a lot of churn recently for the GNOME update), and any relevant log entries.
