maybe condition to the presence of /usr/bin/tic considering that it does not exist in FreeBSD 13 and it won't be MFCed

Judging by the mailing list, these instructions not being in here are causing problems. I will commit this tonight when I get home.

Thanks @bcr! One thing I've been struggling with is I'd like to tell them but haven't liked anything I've come up with is "hey check the version of the package and make sure it matches the version of the kernel".

I've found two small nits. The rest looks god enough to commit I would say. As mentioned by others, we can always fix other things found in a followup commit.

I've been hacking on this a while, here's what I've got so far.

One problem that keeps me from wanting to merge this, is that the Xorg FreeType Module has not existed in at least 15 years, but I can't really find any information about that to rewrite the relevant areas.

I think you can commit it, if there's an improvement, we can change it later.
Thanks for all the improvements.

Thanks Jim, these are all great!

A few minor edits. Good job on this section.

Here's my current draft, I am not suggesting this is mergable currently,
maybe parts of it are, but here's just what I've got so far in case
anyone is interested in this issue.

Some language and typo fixes.

Next revision will include increased detail about fonts and configuring touchpads with libinput, however I am really hoping to fix this problem at what I perceive to be the root with upstream manpage.

Fixed xrefs

Additional attempting to clarify more of the instructions. It's still WIP, but appreciate any general feedback.
Thanks @bcr for showing me the testing instructions! Proofreading the rendered output is massively easier!

Here's how you can "make" the doc tree:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/doc-build/

Found a few straggler typos, sorry for the noise.

Removed duplicated warning after testing and proofreading.

Thanks!

LGTM but I'm not a doc committer.

Polite ping

Capitalize beginning of comment, thanks!

improve comment consistency with upstream, except expanded because xkb is already parsed from the name.

I'm intending to improve consistency with setxkbmap and search results, as XKB is already parsed from the name.
