FVWM: Invoking fvwm (Solaris)

Hi all,

I'm new on this list, though I used to read it a while back. I'm a long-time
user of fvwm and now find myself in a Solaris shop.

I've got and compiled the 2.0.43 version (almost hitch-free) but when it comes
to invoking it I hit problems: viz. it seems even the X-server doesn't start.

I'm trying it from the console screen and entering the command:

        xinit /usr/local/bin/fvwm --

The Solaris banner shows then the whole thing seems to hang -- nothing further
happens (thinks: maybe the banner is Solaris' way of starting the server ...
ordinarily I'd expect the stippled background with the "X" cursor. If this is
true, maybe it's not getting to fvwm.).

Any and all pointers as to how to start it up under Solaris 2.5 would be ap-
preciated.

Thanks

Keith
