I don't think it's my color mode because I have added
fvwm to my cde login prompt and I can log in from
there with no errors or anything. I got the
instructions on how to do this from:
http://twirl.mcc.ac.uk/~zzassgl/wm.html
Like I said, these errors only happen when I launch
fvwm from command line login.
#/usr/openwin/bin/xinit
#/home/frosbyte/usr/bin/fvwm2 &
Any ideas?
Thanks for all your help and patience guys!
