I have spent the last 6 weeks or so trying to get a desktop to work with 11.3 x64. Both Gnome & Xfce have been installation failures. My recent post for support on the Xfce forum has not been answered after 170 views. The best I have achieved with my attempts is a black screen with a frozen mouse.
Also, one of the things that has been vexing for me is that although FreeBSD has numerous boot type files & kernel files, I have not come across any FreeBSD configuration documents that call for their use & how to use them in generic or specific situations that I have been involved with.
However, I have just come across the Enlightenment desktop that calls for the configuration of the .xinitrc file. This file has also not been part of my past failed endeavors and I'm thinking that this and the boot files mentioned must surely have some place in producing a working desktop, but I haven't been able to find any detail on that.
So, to shortcut the problem, I am looking at automatically configuring Enlightenment which, apparently, can be done via the .xinitrc file.
My question is what configuration detail do I need in the .xinitrc file to achieve an automatic desktop installation.
Thank You for any help you can give me.
