Message-ID: X-X-Sender: jroberts@mail.ashland.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, everyone. After a month of labor, I have finally found a combination of card/monitor settings that gives me a minimal XFree86 setup (VGA16) on my P6 w/ Trident Providia. However, I can't seem to do some of the things I used to be able to do in SCO (Motif?), such as put objects on the desktop, etc. I also haven't found where to set fvwm as my default window manager (twm is what always comes up), or why xvidtune adjustments are never saved (do I have to put them in a file manually?). With fvwm and tkdesk, I can get a (barely) acceptable desktop. Is there another widget or tool that I need to be able to make folders/icons on the desktop? What do *you* do? If you don't think other list members would benefit, please just reply to me personally. Thanks!
