The xorg-server files do exist... http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release/0/All/ http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release/0/All/xorg-server-1.7.7_11,1.txz http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release/0/All/ http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release/0/All/xorg-server-1.7.7_11,1.txz Will reboot and see if I can coax pkg to find them. - Daniel On Tue, 21 Jan 2014, Daniel Herring wrote: > 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.
