120 Part I . Linux First Steps . Twm (Tabbed Window Manager) Although no longer actively maintained, some people still use twm when they want a truly bare-bones desktop. Until you click the left mouse button in twm, there s nothing on the screen. Use the menu that pops up to open and close windows. There are many other window managers available for Linux as well. To check out some more, visit the Xwinman Web site (www.plig.org/xwinman). Once the system default is set for your window manager, users can set their own window manager to override that decision. The follow section describes how to do that. 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 may 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 Core 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 that are specific to different types of video cards are delivered with the X.Org X server. Visit the X doc directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc) for a README file specific to the type of video card (or more specifically, the video chipset) you are using. A lot of good information can also be found on the xorg.conf man page (type man xorg.conf).
