I generated xorg.conf.new per the manual section 5.4.8: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html # Xorg -configure I then moved xorg.conf.new to /usr/local/etc/X11, copied it to xorg.conf, and added the settings suggested when installing xorg: dpchrist@freebsd:/usr/home/dpchrist $ diff /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.new /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf 15a16 > FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/" 19a21 > Load "freetype" > For fonts, use /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, the man file explains how to > define your own sections for X to use.

Can I replace my /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following? # /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/dpchrist.conf Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "freetype" EndSection > As far as your qeustions go... > > Do you have both hald and dbus running?
