## INSTALLING X

`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"_:
|
||||
```

|
||||
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
|
||||

||||

Driver "intel"

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.

* Swith back between windows:

|

* Split screen horizontally:

* Go to next frame:
|
||||
`Ctrl-t + Tab`
|
||||
* Go to previous frame:

`Ctrl-t + Alt-Tab`
|
||||
* Make a window the only one visible:
