Hi all,
I'm using fvwm 2.4.20. I have a single graphic card with TV out enabled.
X is starting two displays, one on my primary screen, :0.0, and one on
my TV, :0.1. So .xinitrc is run once and fvwm2 forks itself to run on the
two different displays.
Right now fvwm uses the same .fvwm2rc config file for both displays but
I'm wondering if there is a way to get it to use a different config for my
second display?
Something like:
fvwm -s num1 -f /path/to/config1 &
fvwm -s num2 -f /path/to/config2 &

Thanks Thomas and Jesús!
I was confused because I couldn't figure out how to get fvwm to
run twice when .xinitrc was only being once, but of course I forgot
about using & to put the first fvwm into the background so a second
fvwm process could start, and of course adding the -s -d -f switches
to tell each process which display/config to use.
It turns out it is actually important to use & on the first fvwm but not
the second, otherwise X immediately stops after it starts. My final
.xinitrc entries look like this:
fvwm2 -s -d :0.0 -f .fvwm2rc &
fvwm2 -s -d :0.1 -f .fvwm2rc.tv
Works like a charm. Thank you both!
Ken
