How to uninstall FreeX86 3
I found the XFree86 4 packages after installing the 3 ones from the sysinstall menu. But it seems one can not uninstall it from the sysinstall. Also pkg_info does not give out anything about 3.
The handbook only covers how to configure 4 without how to remove 3. So before I start with any dirty work on this, is there any practice to remove the 3 cleanly so that I could install the 4? Could you please direct me to any existing docs on this or give me some hints? Thanks. Last edited by wujie : March 5th, 2002 at 03:21 AM. |

>> to any existing docs on this
No docs, here's what I would do, if you trust me. 1) cd to /var/db/pkg and pkg_delete all installed software that rely on X. 2) rm -rf /usr/X11R6/* 3) echo "XFREE86_VERSION=4" >> /etc/make.conf 4) Then install new X from /usr/ports/x11 |

hi Freebsd, it worked perfectly.
actually i got the 4.1.0 installed last thu. and i was busy this week so that i didn't touch my freebsd box until yesterday night. i got everything right, including the settings for my TFT LCD, except for my Maestro 2E sound card. ![]() in general the box flies quite smoothly. i really enjoy working on the XF410 on a FreeBSD 451 box. ![]() Last edited by wujie : March 15th, 2002 at 07:45 AM. |

Good experience with the Xinstall.sh script
I just upgraded the Xfree86 on my FreeBSD 4.5 box to 4.2.0. I simply backed up the old installation and ran the Xinstall.sh script that came with the binaries. I ran x with the -configure option, tweaked the config file that was generated and everything worked great. The new release works better with my video card and I am very pleased with the results. The script was very interactive and prompted before every change.
