That depends on how do you start your X session usually. If you use a display manager like [XKG]DM then it should provide an option to load fvwm instead of the desktop you are currently running. If not, you should be able to boot it by selecting something like "default session" and running fvwm from your ~/.xsession file. If you use "startx" to startx from the command line, then the file to look at is ~/.xinitrc In any case, this is not an fvwm related topic, but rather related to the config of X or your login manager, depending on how do you enter X. -- Jesús Guerrero
