Hello,
I normally use openbox for window manager but I would like to try fvwm. Can
this be done without disrupting openbox and how to do it?
Run X on a free virtual terminal, then you'll start fvwm and, say,
xterm on that:
E.g.:
$ sudo /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -nolisten tcp -auth $HOME/fvwm-trial.auth :2 vt09
$ DISPLAY=:2
$ fvwm&
$ xterm&
That will start an X server on vt9 with display identity :2, with fvwm
and an xterm. Shift to it with C-A-F9 and shift back with C-A-F7.

Hi Ralph,
I assume that when I install fvwm first it won't automagically replace
openbox?
Your sudo command line and following commands are executed in an openbox
xterm which starts fvwm in the "void" and the C-A-F9 switches out of
openbox and into fvwm?
When I am done evaluating fvwm I can stop it by kill -9 whatever-its-PID
is? Or is there a proper way?
Best regards,
Fred
