on Jul 09 20:02, i got this from Bob... > ... > > I've got > fvwm2 & > in xinitrc. That brings up fvwm without any functionality. ... does the fvwm2rc file match the respective version of fvwm? mind you that fvwm-2.2.5 (fvwm2 "stable" in ports) didn't like my fvwm-2.2.4 rc file, but fvwm-2.3.32 (fvwm2-beta)worked okay w/ very minor changes. also, when you say "brings up fvwm without any functionality", what do you mean: 1. you get only a bare fvwm, and no other window/program? 2. you expect more from your fvwm "root menu"? 3. something else? if it's [1], then you have to fill your .xinitrc file, or adjust your fvwm2rc file so that programs are launched when(after) you (have) start(ed) X/fvwm2. if it's [2], then you can meet your own expectations by editing your fvwm2rc file. if it's [3], well, you tell me... you may need to search the internet; alternatively, ask me privately & i will mail you my xinitrc & fvwm2rc file. > I can bring up twm, blackbox, and enlightenment with > <window manager name> & > in xinitrc and all three work fine. fvwm is the only one I can't get to work. > that's rather ambiguo...just how do other 3 wm work fine as compared to fvwm2? -- so, do you like word games or scrabble? - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
