Introduction
The purpose of this document is to guide the reader on how to install the modular Xorg.
No X installed
Assuming you have just made a clean install of NetBSD and you have not installed the X11 sets, you should do the following:
/etc/mk.conf
Edit your /etc/mk.conf and add the following line:
X11_TYPE=modular
Install xorg server
Provided that your pkgsrc tree lies in /usr/pkgsrc, type:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/modular-xorg-server # make install
Install xorg apps
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-apps # make install
Install xorg fonts
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-fonts # make install
Install xorg input device
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-input-keyboard # make install
And:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-input-mouse # make install
Install xorg video driver
In order to determine the appropriate driver for you, list the /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-* files. For example, if you would need the nvidia driver, search for it:
# ls -ld xf86-video-* | grep nv # drwxr-r-x 4 root wheel 512 Aug 26 16:17 xf86-video-nv
and then install it:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-nv # make install
Configure Xorg
Run as root the xorgconfig(1) utility to create an xorg.conf file.
