How to start window manager thru twm ?

In my server xvfb is running as following:

daemon 28380 1 0 17:07:24 ? 0:00 /usr/contrib/bin/X11/xinit /etc/
X11/xvfb.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X11

Re: How to start window manager thru twm ?

You'll probably need to start twm (do you really want to use that?) with the display name of your monitor. This will probably either be "twm -display :0 &" or "twm -display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0 &" where those x's are your displays IP address.

Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"
