[edit] Compiling Nucleo

In the version 0.4 from the Hanno-Xgl Overlay nucleo did not compile. To solve the problem I had to use the CFLAG "-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS". --Amfortas 11:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't compile nucleo-0.6 from Hanno-Xgl (compile error by the ffmpeg plugin), so i used the sabayon overlay with nucleo-0.6-r2. This compiles fine.

[edit] Starting Metisse from the console

When I was start metisse with the two commands given on this side, not in an already running environment like gnome or kde with startx and .xinitrc nothing happened. So the problem was the wrong startorder. First Xmetisse must be started, then the X-server and in this X-server the metisse-client that connect to Xmetisse. Maybe more detailed instructions, like below should be added:

[edit] Running with startx

Open your /usr/bin/startx with your texteditor and add the following line after the first comments:

Xmetisse -geometry 1280x800 -ac :1 &

Then open your .xinitrc in the homefolder and replace the content with:

exec metisse-start-fvwm -wd :1

Now the Xmetisse-Server starts before the X-server and everything should be fine.--Amfortas 11:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
