9. 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.
make install.linkkit
to install the server binary LinkKit into /usr/X11R6/lib/Server.


       You could 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.

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
  Current serial number in output stream:  37822
  Widget hierarchy of resource: unknown
