How can I get the .xinitrc and .xsession ?

Iamthetop

I install freeBSD 5.2.1 with miniinstall. and I want to use XFCE4 as my desktop. but I can't find the .xinitrc and  .xsession .Should  I  install the port /usr/ports/x11/gdm2

Freebird

I think you can write the two files by yourself,or you can just write one,then copy to ger the other.Do you understand?No need to install the gdm2.By the way,the contents of the file can as simply as the following:

1. 
   
2. exec startxfce4

Mmmmmm....I suppose it like that ,but I do not remember it exactlly.
Best regards!^_^

Can you give me a copy! I forget it !

Freebird

Okay,.A binary package for XFce exists (at the time of writing). To install, simply type:

# pkg_add -r xfce4
Alternatively, to build from source, use the ports collection:

# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4
# make install clean
Now, tell the X server to launch XFce the next time X is started. Simply type this:

% echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc
The next time X is started, XFce will be the desktop. As before, if a display manager like xdm is being used, create an .xsession, as described in the section on GNOME, but with the /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4 command; or, configure the display manager to allow choosing a desktop at login time, as explained in the section on kdm.

Do you have any problem?
