JC,

Try this, when you login on the sunray, choose "failsafe session" if it is available. This should start X with no wm and give you a blank screen with a terminal window, run your start program from there...

You might not even need fvwm for what you want to do, but it _IS_ a great software :-)

email me directly at:

k e i t h _at_ k a p l e . o r g

and I will help you.

later,

K
