How to safely remove X

[hirohitosan]

Hi there!

I want to uninstall X11 from my box since I'll not use it.

How can I remove x without destroying my server?

thanks

Did you install X? If not, there's nothing to remove. X is not part of FreeBSD.

If you did install X, then get a list of the X-related ports via $ pkg_info -x xorg and use # pkg_delete -xi xorg to delete them.

Thanks phoenix. I installed X by [cmd=]# pkg_add -r xorg[/cmd]

u# pkg_delete -xi xorg
delete xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1? y
pkg_delete: package 'xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
xf86-input-keyboard-1.5.0
xf86-input-mouse-1.6.0
xf86-video-ati-6.14.0
xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_4
xf86-video-mach64-6.8.2_1
xf86-video-nv-2.1.18
xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.904_3
xf86-video-r128-6.8.1_2
xf86-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_4
xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0_1

Do I need to remove all video drivers?

 

[phoenix]

Yes. Those video drivers are only used by X. Just add them to the pkg_delete command:
# pkg_delete -xi xf86 xorg
