<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>

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

Adjust the symbolic link as necessary for other types of mice. For instance,
|
|
a serial mouse on the first serial port would be linked to ttyS1.</para>

|
<para>Create the XF86Config file with
|
|
<screen><userinput>cd ~
|
|
XFree86 -configure</userinput></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>

</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Test the system with
|
|
<screen><userinput>XFree86 -xf86config ~/XF86Config.new</userinput></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>Move the confiuration file to its final location
|
|
<screen><userinput>mv ~/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config-4</userinput></screen></para>
