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

XTITLE(1) General Commands Manual XTITLE(1) NAME
xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window SYNOPSIS
xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ... | [ -V ] [ -h ] DESCRIPTION
Xtitle will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal window in which it is run to be its command line arguments. It does this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence characters. Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the settings it has made. OPTIONS
-- Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options. -h, --help Prints a helpful usage message. -i, --icon Only set the icon name. Default sets both. -t, --title Only set the window title. Default sets both. -v, --verbose Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed. -V, --version Only prints the program version. CAVEATS
Xtitle is known to work with xterm(1) and dtterm(1). The effect of the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I wouldn't expect any problems. VERSION
