Odd.  My Cirrus has never given me any problems.  Are you sure you linked with
the latest version of everything and are using an up-to-date graphics driver? 
The VESA driver works for me once I put "driver ::pf cols 800 rows 600" or
something like that in $(GO32).

I put the libs in /djgpp/lib.

Where is xrun.bat?  I downloaded most of the files, but I was unable to find
it.  At any rate, fvwm is useless by itself anyway--DOS is unitasking
(monotasking? multitasking challenged?), so you should run one of the other
programs (which may, in turn call fvwm--but that can generally be taken back
out of the code to improve speed and stability).
> 3) is there a manual for programming the XlibEmu ???
					   ^^^^
Ever noticed those fat O'Reilly books at your local computer store?  Xlibemu
is supposed to be compatible with Xlib, you know (v 0.31 of Xlibemu in
particular).
