Two questions, tangentally related:
At boot, what is the display manager, that presents the login/password prompt and window manager selection? I want to change the default selection…
I’m running fvwm window manager, yet something is turning off the display after N minutes of idle. What is doing this? Isn’t that a function of the window manager? It’s maddeningly short.
I’ve looked in the manual but can’t find a general description of the startup process.
the default login manager on the MNT system image is greetd
Yes, what Esther said. And you can configure it via /etc/greetd/config.toml. The default greeter started by greetd is tuigreet.
I cannot help with fvwm unfortunately. Also, you are running that under X11? Or does it have wayland support these days?
Did you somehow manage to solve Some function keys not returning codes? (reform) ?
I’ve decided to stop battling X, lol I need to get work done.
I’m still puzzled by the greetd/tuigreet graphical login box. There appears to be more going on than the greetd config covers.
What handles the Fkey set-session type? Where does it find the wm options, sway vs wayfire, etc?
Actually no. evtest doesnt seem to see them.
Do they show up in wev (the wayland equivalent of xev)?
