## 8. Installation

After your make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="... succeed,

    make install

to install in /usr/X11R6. Make sure you have enough space, and /usr/X11R6 exists either as a directory or a symlink to another directory maybe in another filesystem.

    make install.man

to install the compressed nroff versions of the manual pages into /usr/X11R6/man. This directory will be generated if it doesn't exist.

           You should tune the Kernel using the command-file

           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xf86install

           This will increase the available pseudo devices,
           some Tunable Parameters and install some files
           to use inside sysadm. You could also install
           some additional Fonts and Terminal files.

This is now a menu driven config tool for XFree86 on IUS For the first setup you should go from 1 to x step by step. Here is its main screen

You also should increase MAXUMEM to its maximum, else programs may die with:

    X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
      Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
      Serial number of failed request:  37791
