I'm attempting another go at getting a DE on OI on my

I'm going to pretend none of this is my problem for getting
MATE || X(org) to draw a desktop on my screen, and simply
perform a startx. In order to do that I'm going to need the
correct command to initiate the mate DE.
Guessing; it's mate-wm or mate-session
But I don't actually know. So could someone please inform me?
Thanks
P.S.
In an effort to reduce variables I will *not* be enabling/starting
(x|g)dm to do this.
Thanks again!

Helloa
Being in your case i usually i start X,
put it to background then bg - or change the console (vt)
and do
DISPLAY=:0 marco
Hope this helps..
Thanks for the reply, Stephan.
I was just going to respond indicating that I was successful.
Here's what was required:
NOTE
using the default method failed for me on my last attempt. Even
after many attempts (with help from others) to get it going.
That said;
On a core i5 3xxx I had to perform the following:
Install via text install
followed by
As regular user, su to root
pkg install mate_install
create /etx/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-intel.conf:
Section "Device"
Option "DRI" "True"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
NOTE (BusID was derived from previous attempt w/Xorg -configure)
svcadm enable dbus
svcadm disable xdm
svcadm disable gdm
svcadm disable lxdm
svcadm disable slimdm
TEST CONFIG/XORG:
Xorg -retro -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-intel.conf
WORKS! grid background && mouse moves
DOESN'T WORK: CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ATL+BKSP to get to initiating screen
had to tap power button to shut down :-(
After reboot:
As regular user, su to root
echo "exec /usr/bin/mate-session">~/.xinitrc
startx
All GOOD! Mate starts as expected/intended
OK false alarm. It did NOT actually work.
While it allowed me to "startx" and get a DE. It did NOT allow me to
login. Apparently root has almost zero privileges on OI. So *who* is
god on OI? It's "root" on every other NIX based OS.
NOTE I was NOT able to perform any of this as the user added
during install, as that user does NOT have access (can't touch) the
Intel/X drm driver -- permission denied, can't open...
That's it!
Thanks again for your reply, Stephan.
