BSD: Getting the WM loaded
Heyas
Since freebsd has set TERM to xterm when in terminal mode, i'm very curious what its value will be in GUI mode - seems its xterm (in x11/twm) as well.. how smart
So i've installed: awesome and xorg, but when calling awesome, it talks something about invalid display.
So i've set it to set DISPLAY = :0 and tried again, but still no luck.
startx works though, brabbling about freebsd:0, so i changed DISPLAY accordingly, and retried with awesome - still no luck
Currently i'm looking for both, the systemwide awesome configuration, AND the pendant of RedHats /etc/sysconfig/desktop, which defines wich Login Manager & DE to load.
Guess i've found the 'source' folder (/usr/ports/x11-wm/awesome), but not the installed folder.
Finaly found 'a' xinitrc in /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
Where i've replaced twm & with awesome &, sadly without luck, though there was a change - not for the better anyway...
To summarize, i tried:
manual call
startx
xinitrc
{/etc , /usr/local/etc} /sysconfig/desktop could not be found
Even installed slim, enabled it, and when started it shows the 'session' as awesome, but when logging in, i get a naked X11, no menu, no gui, no mouse action but moving.
Curious, there is no lua package to install, but awesome is based on lua?!
Might that be related? - No its not, package was named lua52
What do i have to do to get AwesomeWM working on FreeBSD?
Thank you

AWESOMERC(5) AWESOMERC(5) NAME
awesomerc - Configuration file for the awesome window manager SYNOPSIS
awesome looks for a configuration file in this order: o $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua o $HOME/.config/awesome/rc.lua o XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/awesome/rc.lua DESCRIPTION
The rc.lua file contains configuration information for awesome. It can be used to configure the behavior and look of awesome in a variety of ways. It can be assimilated as a Lua program/script run at startup by awesome. Therefore, it should use the awesome Lua API described in the API section. This file is read at startup. AWESOME LUA API
Documentation for the Lua API can be found in the luadoc directory. COLORS FORMAT
The color format in awesome is either a standard X color name (blue, darkblue, lightred, etc) or a hexadecimal formatted color (#rrggbb or #rrggbbaa). By using the hexadecimal format, you can also specify an alpha channel: that means that #00ff00 will draw pure green, but #00ff00aa will set the alpha channel to 'aa' and will blend the green with the color under it. TEXT FORMAT
You can use Pango markup in a text string. This allows formating the text rendered inside widgets. Pango markup documentation can be found in the Pango documentation at http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html. A Pango markup example: <span weight="bold" foreground="#336699">...</span>. SEE ALSO
