Usually in runlevel 5 (X) .xinitrc file from home directory is ignored (at least that's the behaviour on my machine) and instead the contents of .xsession is executed. The .xsession file _must_ be executable So: -- create a file .xsession echo fvwm2 >$HOME/.xsession -- make it executable chmod 755 $HOME/.xsession And it should work.(Works for me :-)) If it doesn't work you must figure out the X startup sequence in runlevel 5 (see files in /etc/X11/xdm) which is not an easy task _or_ keep looking for an answer to your problem _or_ enjoy runlevel 3 :-) Bye Calin ===== -- A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in.
