<para>Add <filename>/usr/X11R6/bin</filename> to your PATH environment
|
|
variable in <filename>.bash_profile</filename>. The statement should
|
|
look something like <userinput>PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin</userinput>
|
|
and be placed before the <userinput>export PATH</userinput> statement.

<para>Set up your mouse
|
|
<screen>cd /dev
|
|
ln -s psaux mouse</screen>

|
a serial mouse on the first serial port would be linked to ttyS1.

<para>Create the XF86Config file with
|
|
<screen>cd ~
|
|
XFree86 -configure</screen>
|
|
The screen will go black and you may hear some clicking of the monitor. This
|
|
command will create a file, <filename>XF86Config.new</filename> in your home
|
|
directory.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Edit <filename>XF86Config.new</filename> to suit your system. The details
|
|
of the file are located in the man page <userinput>man XF86Config</userinput>.
|
|
Some things you may want to do are:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>Section "Files". Change the order of the font paths searched.
|
|
You may want to put
|
|
100dpi fonts ahead of 75dpi fonts if your system normally comes up closer
|
|
to 100 dots per inch. You may want to remove some font directories completely.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>
|
|
Section "Module". Remove or comment out some of the modules. The "glx"
|
|
and "dri" sections are not operational until we install DRI below. Leaving
|
|
modules in does not hurt anything.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>
|
|
Section "InputDevice". You may want to change the keyboard autorepeat rate
|
|
by adding
|
|
<userinput>Option "Autorepeat" "250 30"</userinput>.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>
|
|
Section "Screen". Add a DefaultDepth statement such as:
|
|
<userinput>DefaultDepth 16</userinput>. In the SubSection for your default
|
|
depth, add a modes line such as:
|
|
<userinput> Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"</userinput>.
|
|
The first mode listed will normally be the starting resolution.
|
|
</para></listitem>

|
|
<para>
|
|
Test the system with
|
|
<screen>XFree86 -xf86config ~/XF86Config.new</screen>
|
|
You will only get a grey background with an X-shaped mouse cursor, but it
|
|
confirms the system is working. Exit with Control-Alt-Backspace. If the
|
|
system does not work, take a look at
|
|
<filename>/var/log/XFree86.0.log</filename> to see what went wrong.
|

</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|

xclock -g 100x100-0+0 &
