1. Install the binaries from the /stand/sysinstall. That will run the
configuration script and some other
stuff as well.
2. Then you can use /usr/X11R6/bin/xstart to start it temperarily to make
sure that your
mouse and video board work.
3. Finally configure xdm for your regular X login.
<<<<HOW DO YOU DO That stuff?>>>>>>>>
Read the __friendly___ manual, it's in
/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
(and good luck)
