X-system installation

When ports updated, I want to install X-system.

I will use Xorg+KDE3. Well, it is simple:

Install Xorg is too easy:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
# make install clean

But its configuration is not. Here are some points:

1. The recommendation is to add the following parameters to /etc/rc.conf to autodetect keyboards and mice:
   
   

   hald_enable="YES"
   dbus_enable="YES"

   
   But both keyboard and touchpad work fine for me without it.
2. Run:
   
   

   # Xorg -configure

   
   If you do, basic X11 configuration file /root/xorg.conf.new will be created. You can tune and test this file before move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3. Also, I've added the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
   
   Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
   ....
   FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/"
   ....
   Section "Screen"
   DefaultDepth 24
      SubSection "Display"
           Viewport 0 0
           Depth 24
           Modes "1280x800"
      EndSubSection
4. I like to use KDE, therefore I have installed it via ports. If you want KDE to be started automatically when the system starts (and I wanted it), you have to have the line below in your /etc/ttys file:
   
   ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
   
   

Well, that's all I did. KDE starts well and works fine ^_^ As it usually does.

In my further posts, I'll tell you what software do I use.
