Have you installed a graphical login screen like xdm, gdm, kdm? If not: - create a ~/.xinitrc and add 'exec fvwm' - type in the console 'startx' If: - add in /usr/share/xsessions a fvwm.desktop file with the following content: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=FVWM Comment=ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window manager Exec=fvwm Terminal=False See also http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/FVWM Other good site: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FVWM Cheers, Thomas
