To the novice patron saint: I've successfully installed 2.1.6 and the minimal XFree86 distribution and have added a couple of x-window clients, including Netscape 3.01. While I'm a long way from using BSD to dial up my local ISP (don't have the money for the "Complete FreeBsd" and don't have unlimited time to figure out how to configure a unix box--coming from MSDOS and Windows), I would like to get the "XKeysymDB" and "Xapplresdir files" in the right place, and the XNLSPATH correct (so I don't get the key error messages when I start up Netscape). Where in FreeBSD do I put the pointers and path statements? I've added the following lines to .xsessions in the root directory and to XResources; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 XNLSPATH=/usr/share/nls/ The files are in the places that the Netscape README says to put them; the paths are typed just as the README says to do (e.g. forward slash after "nls"). Obviously, I've put these statements in the wrong place. Where do they go? It might help to know I start up X from root with xdm, use the XF86_S3 server, and once I've got the server running, use the xterm to start Netscape. Thanks for your time. FreeBSD is fascinating.
