I'm a new user to FreeBSD. I have just gotten release 2.0 up and running on
my machine. The hurdle I'm attempting to jump now is getting XFree86 up and
running. The install notes leave a _lot_ to be desired. I'm requesting
just a basic reference document that explains the steps to getting XFree86
installed then configured for a new FreeBSD user. Ideally I'd like to see
high-level steps as follows:
1. Installing XFree86
2. Configuring the server for your hardware
3. Installing windows managers (i.e., OpenLook, Motif, etc...)
4. Configuring users for X
5. Maintenance, application installation, etc...
By the way, is there a Motif manager for XFree86 and FreeBSD? I've found
the OpenLook manager already.
If it helps to explain where I'm coming from, I've been a user and
administrator for a small network of Sparc stations running Solaris 2.3.
That's the paradigm I'm used to.
