Umm how do I get X working in openbsd?

[mcveigh]

just what it says I installed all packges via ftp

I'm so happy I finally got a spare box I can play on here
there is the /etc/X11 directory but not what I expected in there.

any good sites for *BSD newbies?

Did you configure X already? If you didn't, the config file should be (or in Linux it is at least) /etc/X11/XF86Config

If it is installed and you configured it already, try typing 'startx'. I have never installed OpenBSD so I can't tell you if they config is done and stuff already.

I'm sure n0cmonkey has all sorts of great sites that you could reference

I familar with linux, and X seems to be working differentkin bsd.

so I'm a little lost.

i'm guessing I jsut need a /etc/Xll/XF86config file

but i'm not sure

OpenBSD doesnt do your work for you. xf86cfg I think is what you want to run. It will help you create an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4(?). Its been a while since I used X

Its the same in OpenBSD as it is in Linux.

OK what about tab completion? it's always been setup in bash before, I'm not sure if it's a bash thing or not?

thanks!

Tab completion is an sh thing, so it works in ksh and sh (which is basicallly ksh ). esc completion works in csh, like it is supposed to (this is the default shell for rooot).

OK any ideas on what the first serial port is called? I have an old 2 button bus mouse and I can't get it to work in X
