Have you found the manuals yet? Hmmm... I guess once you get X
running, you'll have an easier time reading them. :-) Install tkman
when you can, it's really awsome. So is tkdesk! [1]
You need to add a line like this:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 tty5 -bpp 16
or
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 tty5
to "/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers" so that xdm will start the server for
you. The arguments to X can be found with `man Xserver`. The -bpp 16
I have there is to start it with 16 bit color.
After that, you should see that there is a symlink for your X
runlevel in "/etc/rc?.d/", like: "/etc/rc4.d/S99xdm --> ../init.d/xdm"
so that it will start at boot. You can start it without booting,
provided the tty you have it set to run on is free, by going:
# /etc/init.d/xdm start
You set the tty stuff up in "/etc/inittab", restarting `init` with
`telinit q`. RTFM if you don't have a clue yet, `man inittab`, `man
init`, `ls -l /etc/rc4.d`, `ls -l /etc/init.d`.
Footnotes:
[1] You can add this as the top entry in the Appbar's Documentation
entry, and then clicking on it will open tkman with the manual in the
X selection. So you highlight a thing, and click the books, and up
comes `man thing` in tkman.
{{TkMan Remote of primary selection} {set sel [selection get];\
catch {send -async tkman \
"wm deiconify .man; manShowMan $sel"}}}
