I've started playing with an old Lenovo T400s laptop using
FreeBSD-current. The initial install worked perfectly on an
external USB drive.

Can anybody suggest a suitable X11-wm to try on this quite
elderly laptop? LXQT failed with a core dump, next I'll try
twm while hoping for a better suggestion. 

Thanks for reading,
