Hello there!!
This is an observation, not a question.
I am using FreeBSD ver. 2.1.6, and I tried to run "fvwm95-2" the window
manager that looks like win 95 (sorry, my sister insisted).
I noticed that it did not work fine. It seems to have missed the
resource file ".fvwm2rc95". It should be in the directory
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2. Instead of it, there is a file called
"system.fvwmrc" that is a complete configuration of fvwm95-2.
I moved "system.fvwmrc" to ".fvwm2rc95 and my fvwm95-2 worked fine.
There a lot of "dependencies" that are not loaded when this manager is
"pkg_add -ed" v.gr. xfm, xscreensaver, and another ones.
But there is a problem with "xload" that must be corrected in FreeBSD 2.1.6:
The files: "/dev/kmem" "/dev/mem" "/dev/drum" must have reading
permission for all the users, otherwise "xload" does not work.
(chmod a+x /dev/kmem /dev/mem /dev/drum).
Hope you find this message useful.
