Way back in the days of XFree86 3.3.1, (or 3.3.3.1?) I also installed fvwm2 and had been using it happily. But got the foolish idea it was time to catch up to XFree86 3.3.6. So I blasted (using pkg_delete) everything that depended upon XFree86 and even deleteted my /usr/X11R6 directory. Rebuilt everything from the ports using the latest thru cvsup. Apparently fvwm2 requires some configuration stuff that the older version did not. Or have I missed something here? The big problem with fvwm2 is that I have no window control buttons such as the ability to move, grow, or kill windows. Nothing pops up when clicking inside or outside or in title bars, with shift, control, alt, and the windows key held. Also the colors seem to be the default for a greyscale monitor (that's not so bad). Normally I start fvwm2 with startx. Same sort of problems if I start xdm (as root), login as myself and end up in twm, exit twm and start fvwm2 manually. Maybe I should be shopping for another lightweight and simple window manager? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
