I am using Hummingbird's Exceed X Server, http://www.hummingbird.com/products/exceed/ I set the environment variable DISPLAY=:0 I installed the "X client libs for NT" from http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ Fvwm needs xpm so I got that from: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4j.tar.gz Fvwm can be obtained from: http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/ The steps to install are: tar -xvzf package.tar.gz cd package xmkmf -a make make install Sometimes the install target in the Makefile will have: cp foo /usr/local/bin/foo These need to be changed to: cp foo.exe /usr/local/bin/foo.exe There are some sample .fvwm2rc files included in the distribution, copy one of these to your home directory. If you run fvwm, you'll want to set the Exceed Xconfig->Window Mode->window manager to X. You'll need Sergey's coolview and remote.tar.gz. -steve - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
