Starting up an alternative DE


I compiled and install fvwm, though, it does not appear in my Mandrake 10.0 login manager. Do I have to manually add something to the start up tasks to allow fvwm to boot?

I have done this before, but it has been awhile. I believe it has something to do with your Xsession setup. On my box, the directory is /etc/X11 and I have: Gnome* Xsession* blackbox* fluxbox* inside of it. You may have to manually create one for FVWM.

Yes, that's the directory I would have to add it for MDKKDM login manage. Who knows what I should add exactly?
