X windows manager for French-Canadian keyboard
Would anyone know of a simple windows manager that supports French-Canadian keyboard? Using fr_CA keymapping - fluxbox is very simple and very nice, but does not support the fr_CA stuff. This is evident from error messages output when shutting it down. :-( So, I have to find one that does.

Deinstalling X-windows
I could swear this was asked but I don't recall the answer and I've googled bsd till blue. Since starting portupgrade, I've noticed the majority of time is spent bringing various X ports up to date. I was thinking of make deinstall all of X as we use only command line. To explain, we have always installed FreeBSD, pulled in a couple of ports then obtained the major service components we used from their actual provider (e.g. grabbed apache from apache.org). I'm shifting all our machines to use ports and keep them updated but X is somewhat in the way. (BTW, I'm not putting down X, would love to use it, it's just unlikely to do gui admin work via satellite which is how I have to reach our servers). Below is the list of components I didn't install which I'm guessing I don't need on a server (or at least have never had on a server prior to upgrading our machines to 6.x). The old installation always asked if I wanted X and I'd skip it. Can I deep six them, or, because they are now in the base, should I keep them for the integrity of the installation?

First, sorry I keep forgetting to change my from address to the one that identifies me more. I just did on this reply. I really appreciate the responses, they answer what I asked but also another question I didn't ask, but was worrying about. We DO use ImageMagick and for the first time, I've installed it from ports. I didn't find any reference to WITHOUT_X11 in the man make.conf but immediately found it in the make for ImageMagick so you hit on the head. I'll research more for the other ports we are using and see if there similar flags. On the ssh comment, OT but Yes, I've tried tunnelling X and it worked great on my test LAN, but the satellite connection (Hughes best service) adds latency that thwarts any slick admin access I've tried. So in laziness, I've not strayed too far from simple command line access. My working location carries the concept of working remotely to absurdity. No DSL or Cable here.

But you can add options for ports as well: Adding WITHOUT_X11=YES will cause all ports that support the option to be built without X11 so you don't have to specify it every time. Whether you install ImageMagick from ports or not, you need the X11 libraries. The pkg_delete or any other of the package/ports tools won't warn you about anything breaking unless it is installed from ports.

Re: cant run x-windows on fresh 6.1 install
No window manager was installed. Xorg installs xterm and an almost null window manager twm. You need to follow the instructions for configuring Xorg, chapter 5 in the handbook. Then if you add an .xsession file: #!/bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/twm you can use that to install the window manager of your choice. the following will install the kde package: setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp10.FreeBSD.org(make this your mirror of choice) pkg_add -r kde Then change .xsession accordingly On Fri, 19 May 2006, Peter Michaux wrote: Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE for i386 [1].

Re: How to install x-windows in freeBSD
Hi Anirban, a very good place to start is the handbook, chapter 5. Most important is to know the monitor specifications, video adapter chipset, the video adapter memory and to create a initial xorg.conf with Xorg -configure If you've done this already and still hung, you need to supply detailed information to the list.

Re: How to install x-windows in freeBSD
hi Anirban, first update your ports tree using cvsup. [cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/ports-supfile this will do it. but ports-supfile might be somewhere else if u didnt edit then move it under /etc. for this check documentation.] then cd to /usr/ports/x11/xorg # make install clean. soon u done with this step, move to the last one. select kde or gnome to install. [up to you which to prefer.] kde or gnome alsa avaliable in ports. cd to the directory u prefer. then make install clean again. edit your xorgconf [accourding to your pc configuration] and xinitrc [exec startkde]. reboot, login, startx ;) hope this will help. regards, bye ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

startX slow to execute - X Windows system takes 10 minutes to load
When I run startX it takes about 10 minutes for Xorg to begin. Changes have been made to the system, but I don't know how to identify who the culprit might be. Here's what I did before this started happening 2. Installed firefox using pkg_add 3. Unable to see firefox in KDE so reinstalled firefox using /usr/ports/www/firefox/ - make install clean 4. Found out about the KDE menu update tool and ran that 5. Updated my ports tree using cvsup and portsdb -Uu 6. Problem starting hapenning after the subsequent reboot. I have deinstalled and installed Firefox and the problem still occurs. I don't see any errors in Xorg.0.log or Xorg.8.log. My xorg.conf.new file works well, and has been working for a few months now (no changes to it since I got OpenGL working). I don't know where else to look.

Ted, Here's a followup report on the resolution of my video card problem. Review: The card I got with my new machine was an Nvidia GeForce 6600 (at least that's how the system identifies it at boot time). The system would lock up once X windows was running, but with no error messages and not until X had been up at least for a while. After downloading the most current Nvidia driver for this card, building a new kernel with 'device agp' removed and telling xorg.conf to use the nvidia agp support, the symptoms still didn't change! Resolution: So, I talked to the vendor who sold me the machine and card and he sent me another card that's not quite as fast - a GeForce FX 5200. I rebooted with the original (GENERIC) kernel, configured my xorg.conf with parameters for my monitor (Samsung ScanMaster 213T), using 1600x1200 resolution, and it all seems to work. Although I suppose I might have gotten the 6600 to work, I don't know how. And using the 5200 card even without the tuning of xorg.conf still didn't give system lockup problems, just sub-optimal screen resolution. So, it would appear that the 6600 card is currently not supported under FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, unless there's just something else I don't know about. Thus, I'm returning the 6600 card and getting a rebate for the difference in price. That's where it stands now. I have a working system. Thanks for the various suggestions I received here. Hi Mike, If I had a buck for every time a similar thing happened to someone I would bet that if you took that 6600 card to enough DIFFERENT systems, you would find a motherboard in which it worked perfectly under FreeBSD 5.4. And I would also bet that if I took your 5200 card to enough DIFFERENT systems I would find several motherboards on which it locked up the same as the 6600 card - and some of those would be boards in which the 6600 worked flawlessly! This kind of thing is just par for the course in hardware and is why the people at Dell and HP that select parts from OEMs for their systems get paid the big bucks. I hope you fully document everything and send it all off to the driver people at Nvidia, maybe they can patch around the problem. Glad to hear the system is working!

There were some interesting comments about running glxgears before running a game making things better, if that's the kind of thing you are doing (gaming, that is), but I never got to the end of the thread.

When you log in from a graphical log in utility, it's a little more complicated. The gui login program, whether it be xdm, gdm, or kdm starts a shell script which eventually starts your gui environment. The problem is that it's not usually the same as your login shell, but whatever shell was used to write the script. In some cases you can write your own shell script called .xsession or .Xclients in your home directory and it can load in .bash_profile and then start gnome. Depending on what kind of stuff you put in your .bash_profile file, I have found it convenient to separate the bits that I would like to be run by the gui login program from what I would like to be run when I login via ssh or a terminal. I do this by putting all environment variable settings in a file, .bash_env. Both my .bash_profile and .xsession files source this file.

The gui login program, whether it be xdm, gdm, or kdm starts a shell script which eventually starts your gui environment. The problem is that it's not usually the same as your login shell, but whatever shell was used to write the script. In some cases you can write your own shell script called .xsession or .Xclients in your home directory and it can load in .bash_profile and then start gnome.

Loading .bash_profile under X-Windows
How can I get terminal under X-Windows to load my .bash_profile (and any other stuff) that is usually loaded when at the initial prompt?

FreeBSD 5.3 X-Windows Config During Installation
Good Morning, I am having problems installing FreeBSD 5.3. It appears that the installation options do not include: Configure XFree86 Server and Configure XFree86 Desktop. I am aware that version 5.3 now uses Xorg vice Xfree86 as the default X-Windows system. I am fluent in several varies of Unix (Solaris, HPUX, Red Hat, SCO), but am new to FreeBSD. When installing FreeBSD 5.0, I was given the 2 above options, and was able to set a Gnome Desktop. Numerous attempts to install FreeBSD 5.3, I was never given the above options, and although I was eventually able to get a brain-dead Gnome desktop to appear, I couldn't do anything with it. QUESTIONS: 1) Why doesn't the FreeBSD 5.3 install give configuration options for the X-Windows server and desktop? 2) If the answer to #1 is that the Xorg implementation doesn't contain these, then please help me find the easiest way to setup the Gnome desktop following a new fresh installation. My intent is to continue playing with FreeBSD, and explore kick start here at work.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say grainy, but I do know that with flat panel monitors you get the crispest display when you run X at the native resolution of the flat panel monitor. If you run it at some other (lower) resolution, the results can be somewhat blurry, IMHO, as the lower resolution is being mapped onto the higher native resolution (and sometimes at a different aspect ratio). So, a fix would be to determine the native resolution of your flat panel display and to use that (adjusting font sizes, etc. as needed). In my case, I was running a Sony 19 CRT monitor at 1152x864 and replaced the Sony with a flat panel display. The picture looked a bit fuzzy until I switched to using the native 1280x1024 resolution of the flat panel, at which point the picture quality improved dramatically.

Question regarding X windows client-server implementation
Good day! Something is bothering me for so long regarding the X windows client-server architecture. First of all, I know that X server(eg; xorg) manages my monitor, keyboard, mouse and video card. And also, the clients are those applications that I run (eg, kde, mozilla). Since I ran them both(xserver,x clients) on only one pc(my workstation), that would be very simple and fine for me. But then I'm confused by the fact that I can let my x clients connect to a remote x server,(eg, on a LAN). How can that be? For example, I'm looking at my monitor right now.. And then there is this xorg installed on another pc beside me. Now what I'm thinking is that the xorg installed on another pc, knows the specs of my monitor and graphics card and then I will authenticate my self to it remotely.. then what? the x server will manage my monitor and keyboard inputs remotely??? And here's another scenario which I'm thinking of.. I have a workstation but its mouse, keyboard and monitor is connected to a remote machine running x server via a very very long monitor and keyboard cable(hmm.. haven't seen anything that long). Aaaah! I really can't get it.. Could you enlighten me please. The handbook lacks this details. I'm thinking perhaps it's because that section in the handbook is for a typical user with standalone workstation and not for an implementation of x window client-server on a network. I just wanted to try this setup and many other interesting things in FreeBSD with my officemate. I hope you could help me. Thanks a lot and have a nice day! __ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

I'm no X expert, but this is how it seems to me: A server is just a piece of code that does something when another piece of code (a client) asks it to. So your X server, which knows all about your hardware, sits there waiting for the X client to ask it to do something. Like draw a square or print the letter 'X' or tell me what key was just pressed. In the case of X the client and server can be separated by a network, in which case these requests and corresponding response data have to travel down the wire. The nomenclature is a bit confusing at first because we're used to thinking of the client code being closest to the human and server code as being farthest away (at least I am). The keyboard, mouse, and video are not remote from the X server; they're local to the X server. The X clients execute on the remote box, but have their I/O sent through a network connection to the X server. It's not very different conceptually from connecting to a Unix box using an SSH client from another machine. If I SSH in to my home machine from work and run vi, vi is running on my home box, but the output is displayed on my work box and the input is collected from my work box. The only difference is the shift in perspective needed to mentally reverse the 'client' and 'server' roles. -- Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X Windows Mouse Issues
Greetings, I am running 4.9 on a Pavilion N5210. 650 Celeron. 192 megs of ram. Savage S3 video card, Direct X in windows reports it as 4 megs of dedicated video memory. Whenever X windows loads instead of a mouse cursor, I get a .75 inch square of distortion. The rest of the display comes up great. This happens in all the desktop managers I've tried: the default vanilla x, KDE, and XFce. It even happens in Red Hat 9! However I do not get the problem in any version of windows. The kernal is installed as default. The mouse is configured using the moused daemon. x is using sysmouse. my monitor is set to specs from hewlett-packard: resolution, refresh, and color depth. I'm worried that this is a video memory limitation which would be unfortunate I don't want windows on this laptop!

X Windows
Hi all, About 6 months ago, I was having trouble generating my X config file (so that it would run in 800x600, etc. etc.). The command line config would work but I would never know my video card, etc. Then someone told me a utility to use that actually automatically detected my video card and generated the config for me. I don't believe I even had to install anything extra Configurator? or something like that. Any ideas?

Re: X Windows
I believe the command you're looking for is: XFree86 -configure It will generate what it detects and put the config file under /root/XF86Config.new For myself, though, it never worked quite right and I always find myself going back to the old command line interactive xf86config to create my X config file. --roop Matt Juszczak wrote: Hi all, About 6 months ago, I was having trouble generating my X config file (so that it would run in 800x600, etc. etc.).

The command below will build a skeleton file. XFree86 -configure Step 2: copy the file to /etc/X11 and remove the .new extension. cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config Then either go into /stand/sysinstall and do a post configuration setup. Select X server and use ncurses based interface to edit your monitor and keyboard settings. Double check all the settings to make sure they are correct. Instead of going into /stand/sysinstall you could actually use: xf86cfg --textmode which is the same ncurses based installer. The advantage for myself is that almost all possible tweaks and settings are set inside the file for tuning at a later date. You can go and use the same ncurses installer via /stand/sysinstall but it wont add all the settings. Just my 2 cents worth, hope it helps. Pete = ESCape with VI. Cheese A La mode. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Install X windows in Free BSD 4.8 - Help required.
Hello, Thanks for the help. I still have a problem starting up the X windows. First of all the login screen for X windows still does not allow me to get into the system. When I type my login name and password , the screen goes blank and the login screen reappears after some time. If I type C-A-F1, I can get into the command line mode. When I type startx on command line, it fails. When remove /tmp/X0.lock and retry with startx, I can get into kde ( I enabled KDE from the /stand/sysinstall mode. ) Is it not possible to get directly into X window screen or kde when typing startx? How can I log in from the login screen into X windows or kde?

IIRC, it was because I had no ~/.xsession file. (If the system was supposed to automatically create one, it didn't, but maybe it just doesn't do that...) If this is the situation for you, you can log in on a text console and create a sensible ~/.xsession file, e.g. # echo 'exec xterm' ~/.xsession Then try logging in through xdm. If you already have a window manager installed, you can specify it instead of 'xterm' there. e.g. the last line in my ~/.xsession is exec blackbox btw, a pretty good tutorial for ~/.xsession can be found at: http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/X/xsession.html -Chris (randomly answering ~/.xsession! regardless of the question, today :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I type C-A-F1, I can get into the command line mode. When I type startx on command line, it fails. Well, sure; you're still running another X session on display 0, so you can't start another one without giving it a different display to use. When remove /tmp/X0.lock and retry with startx, I can get into kde ( I enabled KDE from the /stand/sysinstall mode. ) Okay, that would get around the other session's lock. Is it not possible to get directly into X window screen or kde when typing startx? Sure it is. As long as you're not already running X. How can I log in from the login screen into X windows or kde? Best guess is that you just need to fix your .xsession file. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
