But I need the MODULES. > /usr/X11R6/libexec/fvwm/2.2.4 Don't know why there's no default rc file, but checking /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2/pkg/PLIST there is a FvwmConfig module installed (I'm still running 2.2.2 which doesn't have this, there was (is) a separate config program for this version). Go to http://www.fvwm.org where you will find example .fvwm2rc files (or links to them). Don't forget to add these lines to ~/.fvwm2rc file (mod the paths as necessary): ModulePath /usr/X11R6/libexec/fvwm/2.2.2:/usr/X11R6/bin/ PixmapPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/pixmaps/ IconPath /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/ > I can't seem to find fvwm2 modules in any other format than .rpm > which is Linux I think.
