New page

This is for those who are familiar with older versions of FreeBSD.

==Xorg==
Manually setting the option in {{file|xorg.conf}} to the next line enabled the mouse and keyboard:
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"

{{file|/etc/rc.conf}}:

hald_enable="YES"
The hald option can be replaced with FreeBSD's native program {{man|devd|8}}, if the options were set in {{port|x11-servers/xorg-server}} before compiling. Some ported programs still use hald, however.

For a custom xorg configuration file:
% Xorg -configure
After testing this configuration, {{file|xorg.conf.new}} would have been copied to {{file|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:
% cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

==SLiM==
{{port|x11/slim}} was a practical choice for a login manager, which didn't have remote login access. To enable slim, edit the line in {{file|/etc/ttys}} to :
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/'''slim''' -nodaemon" xterm '''on''' secure

Slim requires a {{file|*.desktop}} file, typically in {{file|/usr/local/share/xsessions/}}. This directory is specified in {{file|/usr/local/etc/slim.conf}} next to the {{code|sessiondir}} option. If the directory doesn't exist, create it with the {{cmd|mkdir -p}} command.

Example of a minimal {{file|/usr/local/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop}} file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=FLUXBOX
Exec=fluxbox
{{file|.desktop}} files are in xdg-style, demonstrated at [http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html#basic-format Desktop Entry Specification].

===Customization===
To change the background, look into {{file|/usr/local/share/slim/themes/default/}} [optionally create a backup file of {{file|background.jpg}}] then copy your choice background image to {{file|/usr/local/share/slim/themes/default/background.jpg}}

% cd /usr/local/share/slim/themes/default
% mv background.jpg background.bk.jpg
% cp [pathname/your file] background.jpg

To create multiple themes, you may create a new directory under {{file|themes/}} that is similar to the {{file|default/}} directory, then specify this themes subdirectory from {{file|/usr/local/etc/slim.conf}}. If you do this, be sure each used folder ends off with three files named: {{file|slim.theme}}, {{file|background.jpg}} and {{file|panel.png}}.

Add or edit your themes to {{file|slim.conf}}:
#current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to randomly choose from
current_theme default,mytheme

To create themes directories:
% cd /usr/local/share/slim/themes
% cp -R default mytheme

Then edit the {{file|mytheme/}} files to your liking. For more details of slim configuration, type either:
% man slim

% less /usr/local/etc/slim.conf.sample
