Hi,
I am currently running Gnome on FreeBSD 5.3 with great success.
I can access the Internet and am using a 1024 x 1280 screen resolution.
I am trying to access either my xorg.conf or XF86Config file for
some general tweaking, e.g., adding to the fontpath, configuring for a wheel
mouse, etc. The problem is that I cannot find either file. According to
the FreeBSD Handbook, they should be in either /etc/X11 or /etc. I have
both folders but the file is in neither. As a matter of fact, my /etc/X11
folder is empty.
As root, I ran “find / -name xorg.conf “ and nothing was found.
When I ran “find / -name XF86Config*” I came up with two files :
XF86Config.98 and XF86Config.eg in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Which, if either, of
these two files is my “XF86Config” file that I modify to add fonts,
configure my mouse, etc.?
find / -name "*xorg.conf*"
If you follow the setup directions in the Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html
then (after a couple of hops and skips) you will end up with
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
It's pretty straightforward. Be sure to tune your HorizSync and
VertRefresh attributes accordingly, and your Screen section. The
Xorg -config step gets most everything else set to a basic working
state for you (or at least it has been quite good at it on the last
4-5 boxes I used it on, all with various video cards -- using 5.4).
