6.1. I want to run X, how do I go about it?

First, get the XFree86(tm) distribution of X11R6 from XFree86.cdrom.com The version you want for FreeBSD 2.X and later is XFree86 3.1.1. Follow the instructions for installation carefully. You may then wish to read the documentation for the ConfigXF86 tool, which assists you in configuring XFree86(tm) for your particular graphics card/mouse/etc.

You may also wish to investigate the Xaccel server, which is available at a very reasonable price. See section on Xaccel for more details.
