SuSE Linux: Versions since 4.2
You want to use another windowmanager in S.u.S.E. Linux rather than taking the default fvwm2, e.g. fvwm95.
The files ~/.xinitrc
and ~/.xsession
check the value of the
environment variable WINDOWMANAGER
. This variable specifies, which binary
(program file) will be started. If the variable isn't set, the default value
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2will be used. Then fvwm2 gets started.
According to your preferred windowmanager, you should enter one of the
following export
lines into your ~/.bashrc
:
fvwm, Version 1.24:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm
fvwm2:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2
fvwm95:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm95-2
bowman:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/bowman
afterstep:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep
ctwm:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/ctwm
mwm:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm
kde:
export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/startkde
It doesn't matter whether you start the X-Window system
from the console with startx
or via xdm
.
