6.1. I want to run X, how do I go about it?
First, get the XFree86(tm) distribution of X11R6 from
XFree86.cdrom.com The version you want for FreeBSD 2.X and
later is XFree86 3.1.1. Follow the instructions for
installation carefully. You may then wish to read the
documentation for the ConfigXF86 tool, which assists you in
configuring XFree86(tm) for your particular graphics
card/mouse/etc.
You may also wish to investigate the Xaccel server, which is
available at a very reasonable price. See section
on Xaccel
for more details.
