Is your ~/.xinitrc executed at all? Add some echo commands to verify this. This file should be "chmod a+x". There are other initialization files used by different display/session managers, like ~/.Xclients and ~/.xsession, add the exec line above to these files to see whether they work. These files should be "chmod a+x" too. In any case you may start the new fvwm temporarily by opening FvwmConsole in the old fvwm and typing in it: Restart /home/allan/bin/fvwm Or even, depending on how old is your old fvwm, run this shell command: % /home/allan/bin/fvwm -r This replaces the existing WM if it understands the ICCCM2 procedure. But beware, this last command may also quit your X with some setups. If you still can't figure it out, I suggest you to ask your sysadmin to help you with the X setup. Reading FAQ question 2.2 may help too. P.S. Please always ask fvwm questions on the list, not privately. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
