Hello,

I cant get fvwm to run, :( if I start fvwm it run into an
error and the it dumps a core, What I did:

- install FreeBSD 2.1 from CD (fresh install, no upgrade)
- install XFree with near everything (no sources, no jp-xxxx
  and only the S3 server)
- installed the xpm package version 3.41
- installed the fvwm package version 1.24r


- set DISPLAY=:0.0 or unix:0.0 
if I start fvwm I get 
TRANS (SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno=2 
TRANS (SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno=2 
...
if I break with ^c I got a core dump 

- set DISPLAY=hostname:0.0 ; HOSTDISPLAY=hostname:0.0
if I start fvwm I get 
TRANS (SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno=61
TRANS (SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno=61
...
if I break with ^c I got a core dump :(

startx or xdm work fine. 

hardware: - 486 dx4-100 16MB
          - ne2000, SCSI HDD, CD ROM
          - Diamond Stealth 1MB DRAM (PCI)

          or 
          - 586-75 32MB RAM
          - ne2000, SCSI HDD, CD ROM
          - Spea Mirage P64 2MB RAM (PCI)

I got the same prboblem at both computers. Anyone an idea?

Best regards Dirk
