Sorry I can't find the source that I installed from. saying that I still have a bunch of machines running this version so the version number will be in there somewhere. It is: fvwm 2.5.5 (from cvs) compiled on Nov 12 2002 at 16:43:17 and the rpm I'm trying to get working on FC5 is fvwm-2.4.19-1 I chose this from the fvwm site as it is the most recent stable version. maybe I should try the 'unstable' release, fvwm-2.5.13. I'll give that a go and see what happens. > > > This time round I decided to install the binary. > > I have installed the latest stable version. > > If you installed a stable version on FC2 previously then the configs > should work on this setup as well.

How are the perms in the user's ~/.fvwm ?? By the way it doesn't work for *me* on this users machine as well. I have found out that it did work on the users machine when it was configured with a standard 1024x768 window using a vesa driver. What has happened is that it has been configured to work with 2 screens and use the nvidia driver. This was enabled by downloading kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia modules from the livna repository. Everything looks ok except I can't see the menu items. I tried removing my .fvwm2rc file and replacing it with a system one but no joy there either. I do get my xterms displayed and can type in them fine. > > The fvwm-user list is a helpful place and very low traffic, perhaps > answers from there could help you or the user figure things out if > you're really stuck.
