 Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2002 2:31 am Post subject: how to setup X? |
 |
|
I want to use either fvwm or fluxbox.
After basic install, which pacakages do I need to emerge in order for Xfree to be working?
Is emerging just x11-base/xfree enough?
Thanks in advance. |

| Looks like you may not have /usr/X11R6/bin in your PATH. xauth is in /usr/X11R6/bin. env-update should have added this directory to your PATH. If you login in again or do "source /etc/profile" from an existing console, your PATH should have it. You should then be able to do 'startx' OK. |
