## INSTALLING X
|
||||
Generally it can be installed from the live _CD or DVD_ or afterwards with the package manager. For example on __CRUX__:
|
||||
* Installing a minimal set of xorg and xorg dependent tools one by one (you must know which DRIVER you use)
|
||||
* Installing a minimal set of xorg and xorg dependent tools one by one (you must know which _"DRIVER"_ you use)
|
||||
`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.
|
||||
__X__ can be configured for several things.
|
||||
|
||||
__OPTION 1__
|
||||
You can generate a general configuration file containing all sorts of options and that will appear on your home directory and later move it to _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_. You need to stop the __X__ server and have root privileges for creating it.
|
||||
* Create a new configuration file "xorg.conf.new"
|
||||
`Xorg -configure`
|
||||
* change it to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
|
||||
* 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`
|
||||
|
||||
__OPTION 2__
|
||||
Or you can create specific configuration files under the _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/"_ directory for particular cases.
|
||||
|
||||
### SCREEN RESOLUTION
|
||||
* Generate a modeline
|
||||
`cvt <WIDTH> <HEIGHT> <REFRESH_RATE>`
|
||||
* Use that ouput to add changes on the configuration file _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_

In _"Modes"_ the resolution you want can contain a framerate appended but needs to be exact.

### SCREEN TEARING
|
||||
To solve screen tearing you can use any of these config files in its appropriate directory.

## NO DE
|

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)
