There is a simple path to getting up and running. 1 - install X11. There is a single port (/usr/ports/x11/xorg) which will install all the required packages. 2 - config X11. Use xorgconfig and come up with a basic functional config (it will reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf). There is a manpage for xorg.conf so once you have the basic one it is probably easier to tweak it in a text editor to iron out the kinks. The xorg manpage should point you to related manpages. 3 - install gnome. Also simple - install /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 and you'll get all the packages. You can install gdm (see /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/) to start X/gnome at boot time. Alternatively, make a .xinitrc file in your home directory containing a call to "gnome-session" and run "startx". good luck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
