Choosing Your Personal Window Manager
Simply adding an exec line with the name of the window manager you want to use to your own
.xinitrc file in your home directory causes startx to start that window manager for you. Here
is an example of the contents of a .xinitrc to start the Window Maker window manager:
exec /usr/bin/wmaker
Make sure that the file is executable (chmod 755 $HOME/.xinitrc). The Window Maker window
manager should start the next time you start your desktop. Other window managers you can choose
include Blackbox (/usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox), FluxBox (/usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox),
FVWM (/usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox), FVWM-95 (/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm95), and twm
(/usr/X11R6/bin/twm).
Getting More Information
If you tried configuring X and you still have a server that crashes or has a garbled display, your
video card may either be unsupported or require special configuration. Here are a couple of locations
you can check for further information:
X.Org (www.x.org)??”The latest information about the X servers that come with Fedora
is available from the X.Org Web site. X.Org is the freeware version of X recently used by
many major Linux distributions to replace the XFree86 X server.
X documentation??”README files specific to different types of video cards are delivered
with the X.
