compilation and pkg install / remove

E

emilien

I'm a newbie on FreeBSD and I would like to ask a question:

If I compile gnome2 or Xorg server can I use pkg remove to remove xf86-video-intel (with it, Ctrl+ F1 - F2 - F3 - etc. does not work)?

So if I can't, what's the command line to compile gnome2 or Xorg without xf86-video-intel?

In advance, thank you.

That will not fix the problem, but you might be able to delete the Intel video driver separately. The actual problem is likely that you do not have vt(4). It is present in 10.1-RELEASE and 10.1-STABLE.

Packages are canned, they come with the options that were set when they were built. If custom settings are needed, programs must be built from ports.

More generally: can we compile a program and remove it with the pkg remove command?

That's actually the only way to remove it. Ports or packages doesn't matter. Ports are build into packages and the packages are installed. So in the end you're always working with packages.
