Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/amd64
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Make sure your system has support for X enabled:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must have 'option APERTURE' in your kernel configuration and
|
||
|
|
uncomment the line that says:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
machdep.allowaperture=2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in /etc/sysctl.conf. See xf86(4) for more details about security
|
||
|
|
issues related to this. After changing this variable in sysctl.conf,
|
||
|
|
you will need to reboot for the change to take effect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Find out about your hardware:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find out what chipset is used by your video board. Write this
|
||
|
|
information down. The dmesg(8) command output is useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What kind of mouse do you have and which port is it connected to?
|
||
|
|
The 2 most common cases are a PS/2 style mouse or a USB mouse, for
|
||
|
|
which OpenBSD uses the wsmouse(4) protocol with the /dev/wsmouse
|
||
|
|
device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Create the xorg.conf(5) file for your server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run Xorg -configure as root and move the resulting
|
||
|
|
xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
|
||
|
|
If needed, edit it to adjust the keyboard and mouse settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Start either xdm(1) or startx(1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a. Start xdm(1), the X display manager by activating the xdm_flags option
|
||
|
|
in /etc/rc.conf(8) or /etc/rc.conf.local(8).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b. Start startx(1) from a console shell. It is the X script that starts
|
||
|
|
the X server and a few X applications, including a window manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. With X.Org XOrgVersion, you can use antialiased fonts in some applications.
