FreeBSD Port: xorg-7.3_1
Hi there ! I've been using FreeBSD now for 4 months and it's a great OS. But is there a way to install minimal Xorg server without installing the meta-port (and thus, without all of the drivers) ? I'm using portinstall as the installer and I've been able to install completely xorg-xserver and nvidia-driver until now, but I'm not able tu launch the startx script. Where is that damned script (I mean, in which package) ? I'm running minimal install of FreeBSD 7.0.

Just cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers make config Select the drivers you want (and deselect those you don't want) TABEnter That is it. The options are sticky and should remain unchanged unless you 'make rmconfig' or a port update changes them. As for startx, # pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/startx /usr/local/bin/startx was installed by package xinit-1.0.7 -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

For example remove all type1 (really ugly adobe) fonts dependency lines from x11-fonts/xorg-fonts and then you can install xorg metaport without worrying about those craptastic fonts anymore. Less dependencies, less fuss. IMHO Andrei ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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]
