Hello there!
First off, let me start by saying I'm an absolute beginner. So please be forgiving.
Anyway, I set up a fresh copy of FreeBSD 14.3 on an old PC yesterday. The specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250 @3 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6450 (TerraScale 2)
RAM: 8 GB
SSD: 500GB, 80GB for...
After what I said in Xorg meta port extremely bloated with linux crap, I have considered making a xorg-basic meta port that is only x11-servers/xorg-server, x11/x11-apps, x11/xorg-libraries, x11/xbitmaps, x11-fonts/xorg-fonts, x11/xdm, and x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa. I don't have much time on...
I'm using FreeBSD 13.5 on Core2Duo PC with Intel GMA. I dual boot FreeBSD with Windows. Windows shows resolutions higher than 1024x768. I use 1920x1080 which my monitor supports highest. However, Xorg only shows 1024x768 and lower. I also get this same issue with Linux. I installed...
The x11/xorg port is EXTREMELY bloated. It offers to install so much Linux-crap like Wayland and glibc. I can't belive the default port for X11 offers to install shitty GNU/Linsux bloat. This gives people an awful first impression of BSD in my opinion. I just installed xorg-server, xterm, xdm...
The script which uses xrandr, yad and cvt programs.
It makes a custom resolution, and you can test a created resolution for five seconds if you want. If you set too high resolution, xrand should refuse to use that resolution, but be careful so that you do not explode your display. (it may be...

Hello, I just installed FreeBSD using FreeBSD-14.3-STABLE-amd64-20250710-7a96c75098af-271907-memstick.img (because wifi did not work with FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE) on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 and I am failing to start gdm.
I followed the handbook to install Xorg, setup Nvidia drivers, and install...
This was a topic that I felt needed it's own thread.
You've probably heard of X11Libre, and its backstory till now.
My position on the topic is that we need a well maintained X11 server with good security features, And That's X11Libre.
I want this thread to be a place dedicated to technicalities...
Hello,
I am an happy user of a FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE light desktop (fanless) built on Xorg and XFCE4. I’m reading good things about KDE+Plasma 6 so I wonder how I could try it without breaking everything else :)
Is it safe (and doable) to install KDE+Plasma 6 along with my existing XFCE4 setup...

I've been trying to get a gui running for FreeBSD with QEMU, to no avail. I've asked in the WM forums and the solutions I've been offered from the helpful people there sadly did not work for me, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with QEMU. answers for either X or wayland would be helpful, i've...

Hi. I use window manager and start it through .xinitrc but when i close my window manager, i get back to ttyv0 i see a lot of logs related to Xorg and apps that run on that Xorg session. I don't want to see these messages, what should i do? I just read a little about gettytab and made a greeting...
I am using mwm as a window manager, I am not using any X Display Manager.
I want to enable the TCP listening on port 6000 of the X server, so other workstations in the LAN can launch applications remotely exporting DISPLAY to my workstation.
I use `/usr/local/bin/startx` to launch the server...

Hello. I bought a new 24" PC monitor that has 1920x1080 resolution and 100Hz refresh rate. I am using dwm on Xorg and start it by startx and also have .xinitrc but I don't think using xrandr or other programs for that purpose is a good idea. I am trying to set the refresh rate in xorg.conf but...
