Hi,

Today I pulled the DVD ISO, did a fresh 64-bit install of 10.0-RELEASE, 
and tried installing X11 using pkg as documented in the Handbook.

# pkg install xorg
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html

No go.


After a bit of digging, I discovered that 32-bit systems do have an xorg 
package, and 64-bit systems have a similar xorg-minimal package.

http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/latest/All/
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/latest/All/xorg-7.7.txz

http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/xorg-minimal-7.5.2.txz

Extracting these tarballs shows that both packages have a dependency on 
xorg-server.  However, the xorg-server package is not available for either 
system.


My inclination is to stick with an older OS install rather than compile 
xorg-server from ports.  Do you have an estimate of when the xorg-server 
packages might become available?  (I plan to use nvidia-driver, if that 
makes a difference.)

If building from ports is required, it might we worth noting this in the 
Handbook.

Thanks,
Daniel
