Well, then you most likely don't have your $DISPLAY set correctly (for whatever reason, you didn't tell us much about your exact steps how to start fvwm, or even the X server at all). This looks like something to be asked on freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, but not like a valid bug report. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
