Random xorg notes
What's required for a working and useful desktop? (On at least an Intel chipset machine):
- vim-lite, because!
- xorg
- hal
- dbus
- chrome
- firefox
- xfce4
- xfce4-battery-plugin
.. as well as running vt + i915kms with drm2.
It pulls in dependencies that are needed to be useful.
Then, need to enable hal/dbus in rc.conf.
Then for /etc/sysctl.conf:
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3 kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
Then, need to set the frequency to the highest for now - let C states take charge. Otherwise on boot some hardware / BIOS will set the frequency to something low and it won't be stepped up.
(.. it'd be nice to make powerd .. better.)
