J jared19 Dec 4, 2008 #1 Hi, How can I start fvwm2? I tried these cmd: # fvwm2 # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new & sleep 2; fvwm2 Both gives me an error, "could not open display". How should I start a window manager "properly"? TIA

OP J jared19 Dec 4, 2008 Thread Starter #4 Thanks, that works. Now, which one do I use, /usr/local/bin/fvwm or /usr/local/bin/fvwm2, as both files exists in my system. TIA
