The way you worded your original message, it sounded as if you just copied the xinitrc file to your home directory and did not modify it. I used the info on the man page or some web page and it worked fine for me. In fact, when I added the default xinitrc info at the top of it, it broke. It would not start up. All you need in .xinitrc is something like the following 3 lines (no execs at all) xhost + xterm -fn 10x20 -ls -fg black -bg lemonchiffon2 -sb -geometry 91x24+64+6 -n "Main"& fvwm2 > > I am beginning to think that for some obscure reason the > > fvwm2 is not started.
