hi,




Running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #0, i386 P3-667MHz, 512MB RAM.

-I didn't install xorg. Why are the 16 xorg ports present?


a fresh FreeBSD 5.3 has xorg by default instead of XFree86




So X is installed by default whether or not I wish to use X?

No, FreeBSD prior to 5.3 had XFree86 as X-server, but since XFree86 changed their licenses FreeBSD switched to X.org. 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-truetype-6.7.0 X.Org TrueType fonts
