There were many questions regarding the oldschool xorg/x11 setup without
hald/dbus and with old usefull terminate method by ctrl-alt-backspace, here is a short howto how to achieve this.
1. Install FreeBSD along with x11/xorg or add it by package.root # pkg_add -r xorg
1.1. Enable and start moused(8) daemon if you already do not have it running.root # echo moused_enable=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf
root # /etc/rc.d/moused start
2. Generate new config.root # X -configure
3. Move config to its proper place.root # mv /root/xorg.conf.new /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Add needed options to config in sections ServerFlags and InputDevice.root # vi /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
(...)
Option "DontZap" "off"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
(...)
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
The following options are needed to have working x11 without hald/dbus:
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
(...)
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
... and following for "three kings" or CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE terminate keyboard shrtcut:
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
(...)
Option "DontZap" "off"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
(...)
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
5. Basic client configuration.user % cat > ${HOME}/.xinitrc << EOF
xterm &
twm
EOF
6. Start x11/xorg.user % xinit -- -dpi 75 -nolisten tcp

For comparision, for OpenBSD its like that:
1. Install OpenBSD along with xenocara/x11.
2. Basic client configuration.user % cat > ${HOME}/.xinitrc << EOF
xterm &
twm
EOF
3. Start x11/xorg.user % xinit -- -dpi 75 -nolisten tcp

----------------
If you would like to disable CAPS LOCK key, then you should make the folllowing change in the
xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
- Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
+ Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
If you would like to also set other then default keyboard layout, then add this to
xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
+ Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
EndSection
