hey all,
how do I change startx from starting xfce to fvwm? I know about that I have to edit .xinitrc file but I but I don't know that code that will let me type startx and it will run fvwm instead of xfce.

thanks,

Comment out your xfce entries with # marks and then add:

exec fvwm

at the end of your xinitrc file. Do some research on xinitrc files to get programs to start when X starts.

Example:

cat >> ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
xterm &
exec fvwm
EOF
