Re: How to Replace twm with WindowMaker
twm is not default window manager in OpenBSD. fvwm2 is default. On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 7:43 AM, Tito Mari Francis EscaC1o titomarifran...@gmail.com wrote: Good day!

Re: How to Replace twm with WindowMaker
Have read portions of that, thanks for pointing it out, but I need the WindowMaker-specific command. On that documentation section, it focuses on cwm as the replacement window manager. Aside from that, this is for my root user, sorry if I left that detail out, there's no .xinitrc file for it. Thanks again.

Re: How to Replace twm with WindowMaker
Alright, I got this solved following the guide. It turns out that I should create the .xinitrc file with the word 'wmaker' in it and that does it. Thanks for the pointers! Maybe this can be made more elaborate in the guide that user may not find that file and they can create it.

Re: How to Replace twm with WindowMaker
Why do you need X for your root user?
