Thanks andrei! :) i've installed fvwm2 (it wasn't istalled) and changed both my ~/.xinitrc = and ~/.xsession to this: #! /bin/sh (<-- btw. what's the meaning/use of this comment?) # .xinitrc # start fvwm2 exec fvwm2 & # ...and start some nice progs exec xterm & exec xeyes & # EOF When I startx, the Xserver starts loading and then shuts down. When I tried to run fvwm2 directly from the prompt: # fvwm2 & I got a "Can't open display" <<ERROR>> Am I doing something wrong? (btw. i'm using FBSD 4.3) Dimitri -----=C1=F1=F7=E9=EA=FC =EC=DE=ED=F5=EC=E1----- > Is it possible to run an XWindows application without=20 > starting KDE (or Gnome etc..) ? > (Something like launching the application together with the=20 > Xserver at its minimum..) put it into your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession file like so: #! /bin/sh # .xinitrc # start fvwm2 exec fvwm2 & # ...and start some nice progs exec xterm & exec xeyes & # EOF To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
