Hello,

How to start fspanel at the bottom left of the monitor/screen (Xorg)?

Probably.

Please provide more information.

I did a web search for fspanel and found many different meanings for the term, some Linux-related and some not. Which one are you referring to and what desktop environment/window manager are you using.

tinywm

--geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
Set size and/or position. Through its control sequences the xterm only recognize positive XOFF and YOFF offsets, which are pixels relative to the upper left hand corner of the display. xtermcontrol is therefore unable to handle negative offsets as described in the X Geometry Specifications and therefore truncates negative values to zero.

So it would require to modify fspanel.c
cc -lX11 source/x11/fspanel.c -o source/bin/fspanel

here the code of fspanel.c :

scr_screen = DefaultScreen (dd);
scr_depth = DefaultDepth (dd, scr_screen);
scr_height = DisplayHeight (dd, scr_screen);
scr_width = DisplayWidth (dd, scr_screen);
root_win = RootWindow (dd, scr_screen);

Only the position is needed.

see fspanel.c, here the code of fspanel.c :
