Thanks for the tip. I was booting into runlevel 5. I created a ~/.xsession. Now I have a .xinitrc and .xsession which are identical and look exactly like:
#!/bin/sh exec fvwm2 I still can't get rid of kde. When I set the default runlevel to 3, I can issue 'startx' from the command line, and I go into fvwm2 like I want. But I would like to go into fvwm2 from default runlevel 5. Are there any other config files that need to be changed to get rid of kde? I also noticed a ~/.xsession-errors which was modified after I created the ~/.xsession. ~/.xsession-errors looks like this: X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 11 Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".
