Because the second disk on the 2.1.5 FreeBSD was damaged CDROM replaced the disks with 2.2.1 FreeBSD. The 2.1.5 version worked great, xdm and twm, no bugs. However many programs were not available. The following patches were necessary in order to start xdm and twm using version 2.1.5 FreeBSD. In /etc/rc.local, the following was added: echo -n 'starting local daemons:' # put your local stuff here /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm && echo -n ' twm' The following .xsession file was added #!/bin/sh # # .xinitrc - X Windows initialization file, FreeBSD/twm version. # Wes Peters; 05/25/95 # # Run .profile to make sure we get the environment setup correctly. # . ~/.profile TZ=MST7MDT; export TZ # # Start clients - just a terminal window to start with. # xterm & # # Start a window manager - twm to start with. This program becomes the # 'session manager', exit from it to logout from X. # twm Starting from a "clean" slice I wish to install fvwm95. Installation of the window manager program fvwm95 using the above commands is not working. fvwm95 replaced twm whenever it appears. The symptoms are the xdm login screen appears allowing login. Then a blank screen appears, no window, only the fvwm95 menu appears after clicking the right mouse button (default menu and exit buttons). The error message in the -xsession-errors file reads Fvwm-95: in function Read: <>file ' .fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Fvwm-95:in function Read: trying to read system rc file Fvwm-95: in function Read:<> file 'system.fvwm95rc' not found in $HOME or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95 Both 'system.fvwm95rc' and '.fvwm95rc' are present in the $HOME directory. Also, there is recurring error message, ' XF86_SVGA pid ### tried to use non present SYSVSHM ' the message is displayed whenever logging out. Could someone please help me to setup the fvwm95 correctly and remedy the XF86_SVGA error message? Thanks, Jeff Ayres
