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
