Get rid of any generated Xorg.conf fi= les, startx *should* work out of the box. In fact, in a lot of machines, X -conf= igure is harmful and breaks X while autoconfigure works just fine. If startx doesn't work out of the box, all the tweaks should be done in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d > Can I replace my /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following? >=20 > # /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/dpchrist.conf >=20 > Section "Files" > FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/" > EndSection >=20 > Section "Module" > Load "freetype" > EndSection Yes, just name your file something like 20-dpchrist.conf.

Add both. You need dbus for Firefox and a few other programs to work anyway. XFCE uses HAL and DBUS along with PolKit to provide unprivileged shutdown. Add hald_enable=3D"YES" dbus_enable=3D"YES" Then either reboot or run # service hald start # service dbus start > Add the suggested lines: >=20 > toor@freebsd:/etc # vi rc.conf > clear_tmp_enable=3D"YES" > hostname=3D"freebsd" > ifconfig_em0=3D"DHCP" > # local_unbound requires forwarders to support DNSSEC, and AT&T gateway d= oes > # not: > # local_unbound_enable=3D"YES" > sshd_enable=3D"YES" > ntpd_enable=3D"YES" > powerd_enable=3D"YES" > # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable > dumpdev=3D"AUTO" > zfs_enable=3D"YES" > dbus_enable=3D"YES" > hald_enable=3D"YES" Well, forgive me or pointing it out, but looks like you didn't follow the previous thread's advice, looking at your current rc.conf > > Are you using ports or packages? A mix of two? (latter very ill advised= ). =20 >=20 > I'm using 'pkg'. The errors you are seeing could be related to the packager's machine, but t= ry enabling HAL and DBUS first and see if they go away. In my experience, GUI/DE-related errors of that nature are harmless. If they don't go away, try using ports to build the packages. Just be sure = you don't mix ports and packages unless you know what you are doing. On a very big tangent, most of the Desktop Environments still have strong t= ies to GNU/Linux distributions. I personally recommend you try Lumina or switch= to a WM-only setup for most optimal tweak-free experience. That's not to say tha= t you can't do it, but... give it a thoght. Just my two cents. :) Cheers, --=20 Sergei Akhmatdinov My GPG public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys AD800D99 --Sig_/ZvoZzt3yNy/VlIFAu2N2TiR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEFByDSlcPK9lAgiNNxKRHP62ADZkFAlh91MIACgkQxKRHP62A DZm+Xw/+NRogju/eef6tNfzJoae8b49LI8IjHyKzAA9y63AKy/RuTyKjx7Nk19a1 9KbLnNumYMVg8sa4E8z2Ztc8DnJ16WN0Sjrs7bxrty3uvFOq6QvAw25R05JCZSJ8 mJkarl3UuHHmcbX0pXn6TjQ1su4CvpsMGmcUIZCu3fmrqvnYnQRWg6miZ+A3GHfR eoYRqSX1z5se+XJiJj3ToECe6/hzqlZyz+azi0xy6qEKEQWgVBGPUyh0dd6ulXoi SkcnEesRE8fIIhPT+IFXGUrEC3Oe5hM4BIQ1Zt+/m/TiTOs7FBPtSw7ybBbniC2/ L65gutvExrQJTWmb+/IhLigmiSST4lEpkCa33gXqwCJmVaAWUfDg4ZHx+L+hMSjR jBARYt7k9xrtTlH1bDvDeKL662rAOILSW+SiqRC692wxNJyrzbBNYmPf/d3Sj6Qq 8D0Yerzly+34o4Sv4kwmS0mwCeOIF7Co/4z783OSg3KqHeZTmKQX52A1OmXaeSxU J55wVVVaqAZrs7auOydIvz2Nn/LEKertcDb5XOXRU+zMHMZyUgdiwX+4CVvTXmXf uwOo25aOMW/47ZRI+jdGk93ylMLI6wnSV8JvxVeJzsGNy4jwPRhN4FEMf2R0Omsf PWizKKKl04plxT4ZuANzblWTAQ8EVc894Dn6rhALBCxo2gaW5ag= =Eh+E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ZvoZzt3yNy/VlIFAu2N2TiR--
