Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/amd64
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Conventions used in this document:
|
|
- somename(1) implies that "somename" is a program, and there is a
|
|
manual page available in section 1 of the manual pages for further
|
|
reading, viewed by typing "man 1 somename".
|
|
|
|
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. 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.
|
|
|
|
3. If needed, Create the configuration file for your server.
|
|
|
|
For many users of X.Org's servers, an xorg.conf file is not needed,
|
|
X, will automatically detect and use your hardware.
|
|
|
|
For the few cases where your hardware is not properly autodetected
|
|
or supported or not supported as you wish, you will have to create
|
|
a configuration file.

|
|
4. With X.Org XOrgVersion, you can use anti-aliased fonts in many applications.
