Hi, i run my machine under Debian woody.
When i tried to switch to fvwm i had problems running fvwm (offical deb package v2.4.8). First i could not get it started with xdm but was still able to launch it from an xterm. Later on, however, i was not able to launch it at all what ever i tried. Finally i decided to down load the source and compile it myself, First i downloaded v.2.5.2 and it was running fine but later on i thought it would be may be safer to have the stable version. And now that i compiled and tried to run v2.4.9 i have exactly the same problem. There are two error messeges about fvwm not being able to find a fontset: [FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get fontset 'fixed', trying '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' [FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: ERROR -- can't get fontset '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' The xserver /xfontsel/ does know about these fonts so they are definitely not missing (and the fontsever is running). Originally i had xdm setup to start up the window manager. In this case, after a blank window i got back to the login window (while any other window man e.g. icewm, sawfish or even gnome-session can be started without probs). xdm.log says: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as requested (but i believe this is not about fvwm) I also tried to start fvwm from an xterm only xsession: i got the above errormsg about the fontset and nothing else hapens interestingly before the restart this worked despite the errormsgs. I tried this also as root - no difference. And run strace: i find the same erromsgs but nothing else that would give me a cue what is going on. I hope some of you do have an idea what could the problem imre -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
