Hi Everyone.
I've downloaded 'fvwm2' as a replacement for 'twm'.
I then created an '~/.xsession' file as such:
#/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2
I'm using the 1.5.3 distribution on a Quadra 650 and then running xdm to
access the windowing system through a remote Exceed terminal. This seems
to work just fine when running the default 'twm' manager. However, when I
create my '~/.xsession' file and try to run 'fvwm2', my Exceed terminal
immediately drops the connection.
'fvwm2' downloaded and compiled fine, and the binaries reside in the
/usr/X11R6/bin directories.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting 'fvwm2' to run ? Is this a
configuration file issue, or will it just not run on my Quadra ?
Thanks !
