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

lxterm
lxterm(1) General Commands Manual lxterm(1) NAME
lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm SYNOPSIS
lxterm [ xterm-options ] DESCRIPTION
lxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm, koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's locale setting. All arguments to lxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm. See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options. The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character set used by the current locale. If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked; if the character set is KOI8-R, koi8rxtem is invoked; otherwise, 'plain' xterm is invoked. AUTHOR
