If you installed X.org depends on what install you choose. If you choose 'minimal install' you don't have X.org installed ( if you didn't do it yourself later ) but if you choose 'X-user' or anything like that you do have X.org. You can check it by running 'pkg_info | grep xorg. If you get something like this you have installed X.org: bash-3.00$ pkg_info | grep xorg xorg-clients-6.7.0_4 X client programs and related files from X.Org xorg-documents-6.7.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.7.0 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-encodings-6.7.0 X.Org font encoding files xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.7.0 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-6.7.0 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-fonts-type1-6.7.0 X.Org Type1 fonts xorg-fontserver-6.7.0 X font server from X.Org xorg-libraries-6.7.0_2 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org xorg-manpages-6.7.0 X.Org library manual pages xorg-server-6.7.0_9 X.Org X server and related programs xorg-vfbserver-6.7.0 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org Merry X-mas btw :) >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > >
