                      6: 
                      7: Assuming you have just made a clean install of NetBSD and you have not installed the X11 sets, you should do the following: 
                      8: 
                      9: ##  /etc/mk.conf
                     10: 
                     11: Edit your /etc/mk.conf and add the following line: 
                     12:     
                     13:     X11_TYPE=modular
                     14:     
                     15: 
1.3       maya       16: ##  Install xorg
1.2       schmonz    17: 
                     18: Provided that your pkgsrc tree lies in `/usr/pkgsrc`, type: 
                     19:     
1.3       maya       20:     # cd /usr/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/modular-xorg

1.3       maya       24: ##  Configure Xorg
                     25: 
                     26: Usually no configuration is necessary. To start X you use:
                     27: 
                     28:     $ startx
                     29: 
                     30: ## Additional configuration
                     31: 
                     32: Additional adjustments can be made in ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xresources.
                     33: For example, you may want to use a different terminal emulator font, such as pkgsrc/fonts/overpass.
                     34: 
                     35: ## ~/.Xresources
                     36: 
                     37: To do so, we can add this line to ~/.Xresources:
                     38: 
                     39:     *font: xft:overpass mono:size=12
1.2       schmonz    40: 
1.3       maya       41: For this to take effect, we must do merge it into the database.
1.2       schmonz    42: 
1.3       maya       43:     $ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
1.2       schmonz    44: 
1.3       maya       45: To do this at every X startup, we can add it to ~/.xinitrc.
