`prtget depinst xorg-server xorg-xf86-video-<DRIVER> xorg-font-util xkeyboard-config xorg-xinit`
* Alternatively just install the metapackage _"xorg"_
## CONFIGURING X
__X__ can be configured for several things. You can generate a configuration which will appear on your home directory and change it later.
* Create a new configuration file "xorg.conf.new"
`Xorg -configure`
* change it to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
`mv /path/to/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf`
* on other X versions the commands are
`XFree86 -configure`
`XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config.new`
### SCREEN TEARING
To solve screen tearing you can use any of these config files in its appropriate directory.
* In the case you have Intel add these to _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf"_:
```
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
```
* In the case you have AMD add these to _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf_":
```
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD Graphics"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
```
* Another way to add changes is in the _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_ file:
```
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
```

To use a window manager without any desktop environment, or even a login manager, you can just install the applications mentioned here and edit the _".xinitrc"_ file with the appropriate changes and start _"X"_ from the command line. The required applications are:
* Ratpoison (or your preferred window manager in the _".xinitrc"_ file)
* Xbindkeys
* hsetroot or imagemagick (or replace with your preferred wallpaper changer in the _".xinitrc"_ file)

```
This will automatically launch _"X"_ at the first _"tty"_ (_"virtual terminal"_). If you are confused, to switch between ttys press _"Ctrl-Alt-F\<X>"_ (where _"\<X>_" is a number). So to change to the tty with xorg you'll press _"Ctrl-Alt-F1"_.
## RATPOISON
Productive, automated, scriptable, and minimal, Ratpoison is a strict tiling window manager using bindings similar to GNU Screen. A few of its benefits are.
* No mouse used, all done by commands called by typing _"control"_ and _"t"_ at the same time, plus another key.
* You can set your own bindings in the file _".ratpoisonrc"_ which is extremely friendly.
* Extensible by scripts. The _"rpws"_ script for example adds multiple workspaces (comes by default), another script (_"expose.pl"_) gives a mozaic of current windows.
* Full manual available from the terminal:
`info ratpoison`
* Can temporarily switch to another window manager with the _"tmpwm"_ command for your comfort.
### BASIC SHORTCUTS
* Show the help cheatsheet:
`Ctrl-t + ?`
* Bring an application menu:
`Ctrl-t + .`
* Get time and date:
`Ctrl-t + a`
* Clear screen from help cheatsheet or menu:
`Esc`
* Show open windows:
`Ctrl-t + w`
* Close a window:
`Ctrl-t + k`
* Swith back between windows:
`Ctrl-t + Ctrl-t`
* Go to next window:
`Ctrl-t + n`
`Ctrl-t + Space`
* Go to previous window:
`Ctrl-t + p`
* Split screen vertically:
`Ctrl-t + s`
* Split screen horizontally:
`Ctrl-t + S`
* Go to next frame:
`Ctrl-t + Tab`
* Go to previous frame:
`Ctrl-t + Alt-Tab`
* Make a window the only one visible:
`Ctrl-t + Q`
