Heelo folks,
Got a problem with a Fujitsu Lifebook, only its more hardware than linux
I'm afraid. Can't do the linux til I solve this.

bios. And set it up so that it can only boot from drive C: Took the

no, I have slink, maybe that's why I couldn't find the mentioned
x-window-manager. I updated xwin with 3.3.6 from xfree86.org directly.
that seemed not to be a good idea, and cost me so many hard nights !

Hi Cormas,
thank you for pointing to the critical place. Actually I set window-manager to
contain the following lines right after the update::
/usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox
/usr/bin/X11/blackbox
/usr/bin/X11/olvm
now following your pointer, I opened Xsession. But it looks like I must be

Hi
I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned the following:
/etc/X11/window-managers
The topmost entry is executed by Xsession (found in /etc/X11/Xsession)
but only if you don't have a .xsession file in your home directory.
The window-managers file specifies the default for all users.

Hi,
with the right syntax for ln, I created the symlink WindowMaker pointing to
blackbox.
but that still does not lead to blackbox with a startx. I think there must be a
.conf file somewhere which calls the default wm. Where should I look for it?
thanks

Morning all:

Thank you all for the many replies.
but there is no x-window-manager, only:
/etc/alternatives/WindowMaker -> /usr/X11R6/bin/WindowMaker-debian
but there is no WindowMaker-debian at all.
I tried to manually redefine the symlink to point to /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox
with
ln -s WindowMaker /usr/X11R
Someone else replied that this problem was due to APM. I can't find
a way to shut APM down on this 760ED through the BIOS setup, so I
would assume it needs to be done with the PS2 utility. However,
that resides on the Win95 partition of the drive that won't boot.
