FVWM: FvwmPager not working

[Olivier Nicole]

Hi,

I have been using Fvwm for ages. I never changed for version2, because
the old one is light enought for me.

But since I upgraded my client to FreeBSD 8.3 (from 7.3), FvwmPager is
not woking anymore, so I have only one desktop. The Pager is
displaying as 6 columns instead of 3x2 and is not responding.

If anyone has a clue as what is happening, I'll be happy to hear.

I have tried to upgrade/recompile all X, but not to avail.

Best regards,

Olivier

The command:

DeskTopSize 3x2

should do what you want.

DeskTopSize 3x2
should do what you want.

But that does not seem to be a command existing in FvwmPager(1.20).

Plus my config is correct,m I have been using it for over 15 years and
I did not modified, copied, or altered the .fvwmrc file in any way, I
just did an operating system upgrade (and recompiled fvwm).

The problem is not in the config file.

Best regards,

You can't use the FvwmPager from Fvwm1 in Fvwm2.
Won't work.

To convert your .fvwmrc to an .fvwm2rc, run:

fvwm-convert-2.2
