Don and/or Mila: PRINT THIS OUT! first add xfce: sudo pkg_add -r xfce4 onto the xorg configuration (this automatically creates an optimized x11 configuration file for you): sudo Xorg -configure copy said file from your home directory to x11's directory sudo cp /home/your_account_name_goes_here/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf then, to get rid of the annoying "bad display name" error (it will come up, trust me), open the "hosts" file like this this: sudo edit /etc/hosts there you'll see only two uncommented lines, change the second one from 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain for something like 127.0.0.1 localhost hackme.thelastdomainnameleft.comunist <--- your domain goes here save, of course (the "menu" pops up by pressing "esc" (escape), from meat memory: you go "exit" then "save changes") to tell the x server to launch xfce the next time x is started, simply type this: echo "/usr/local/bin/startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc then startx my blog's at http://tijuanabsd.blogspot.com/ On 3/3/07, Don and/or Mila Trombley <donmila@shaw.ca> wrote: > I am having a lot of difficulty understanding how to get Xfce4, or, for > that matter, Any windowing program up and running, within FreeBSD. > Could someone please give me Step by step instructions, it would help me > tremendously.....! > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
