You don't have to install the x11/xorg metaport. If you look in x11/xorg/Makefile, you can see the pieces it installs. For a semi-minimal X, you probably want xorg-protos, xorg-libraries, xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps, xorg-server and your driver. You probably don't need everything in xorg-apps (who uses xmore?), nor, of course, everthing in xorg-drivers. In xorg-apps, xterm & xinit are pretty basic. At one point there was talk of an xorg-lite metaport, but I don't know of anything that actually exists. startx is in the xinit port that is installed as part of xorg-apps. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
