FVWM2 is a different window manager, and can't, to the best of my knowledge, be run from GDM, or from KDM for that matter. The easy way to try it is to kill gdm, or stop it from starting up at boot time, and then create a file called '.xinitrc' in your home directory. It should contain one line 'exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2'. Then run "startx" from your home directory. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
