Since last year, however, users can simply set xdm_enable="YES" in rc.conf(5) instead. The original ttys(5) configuration instructions has been preserved in the rc script for XDM. --- documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc b/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc index b481c18773..81365c5356 100644 --- a/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc +++ b/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc @@ -822,14 +822,14 @@ This section demonstrates how to configure the X Display Manager on FreeBSD.

The XDM configuration directory is located in [.filename]#/usr/local/etc/X11/xdm#. This directory contains several files used to change the behavior and appearance of XDM, as well as a few scripts and programs used to set up the desktop when XDM is running. <<xdm-config-files>> summarizes the function of each of these files. The exact syntax and usage of these files is described in man:xdm[1]. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-commits-doc-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
