Disabling wm
« on: March 21, 2011, 09:21:10 AM »
Hi,

I want to run only an X application (for example Firefox), and not the window manager.
Is this possible in TC? In Thinstation I've done it.

Thanks

i might be wrong, but thinstation has xorg, even if you don't see it which could give you the impression that firefox is running without wm; basically, you can load an almost not visible wm like evilwm, it will give you almost the same impression

Hi Alu,

I found the evilwm.tcz and installed it.
It does the job!

Thank you very much :)
