1 Hi,
2 I have an up to date gentoo.
3 I installed X
4 # emerge xorg-x11
5 I configured X correctly enough, because
6 # cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~
7 # exit
8 $ cd
9 $ X -config xorg.conf
10 and
11 # X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf
12
13 Are OK:
14 - X starts
15 - the pointer moves when I move the mouse
16
17 USE contains "X"
18
19 I installed fvwm and fvwm-themes
20 # emerge fvwm fvwm-themes
21
22 There are files named
23 /etc/X11/Sessions/fvwm-crystal
24 /etc/X11/Sessions/fvwm2
25
26 I tried with
27 XSESSION="fvwm2"
28 and
29 XSESSION="fvwm-crystal"
30 in
31 /etc/rc.conf
32
33 I also put _only_:
34 fvwm &
35 into
36 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
37
38 When I launch "startx":
