As root, do cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit cp xinitrc xinitrc.old chmod u+w then edit xinitrc to change the line saying "twm &" to "fvwm &" (or whatever window manager you wish to use). This will change the default window manager for all users on your system. If you just want to change your own default, do cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc and then edit the .xinitrc file in your home directory. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland. james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
