Title: Disabling wm
Post by: mitoim 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,

Can you please tell me how to start evilwm instead of flwm?

Thank you

Hi Alu,

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

Thank you very much :)
