add a new windows manager
Hi, I just installed fvwm2. However, on the log-in screen in fedora core 3, it does not give me this selection. Can someone tell me how I can add the new fvwm2 to my switchdesk so I can actually use fvwm2? Thanks.

Once you install fvwm2 properly, you can use it. THe "hackerish" way is to just run it from a terminal (I do that anyway) instead of from a Display manager.
First, make a file in your home directory called .xinitrc. Put the following in the file Code:
fvwm2 Log in Type Code:
$ startx -- :1 Now, you probably want the option to start fvwm2 from the pretty login screen. I've never done it, but I hear that you have to edit the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, adding Code:
# fvwm2 THat should give you a start. There may be much, much easier ways to do this, but I'm not currently working in FC3 so I can't play around with anything to find out. -- the dudeman |
