using MASTER 600 again, it is definately better, and using urxvtc for the moment (it doesn't flickers on refreshes, but this is not because of Marc Lehmann, it is because of the original rxvt code)

garbeam@0 9
garbeam@0 10
garbeam@0 11 Installation
garbeam@0 12 ------------
arg@143 13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
arg@143 14 the /usr/local namespace by default).
garbeam@0 15
arg@172 16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
garbeam@0 17 necessary as root):
garbeam@0 18
garbeam@0 19 make clean install
garbeam@0 20
garbeam@0 21
garbeam@34 22 Running dwm
garbeam@37 23 -----------
garbeam@34 24 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
garbeam@0 25
garbeam@34 26 exec dwm
garbeam@0 27
garbeam@34 28 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
garbeam@0 29 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
garbeam@0 30
garbeam@34 31 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
garbeam@0 32
arg@154 33 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
garbeam@0 34
arg@143 35 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
arg@143 36 like this in your .xinitrc:
arg@132 37
arg@132 38 while true
arg@132 39 do
arg@503 40 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`
arg@143 41 sleep 1
arg@135 42 done | dwm
arg@132 43
arg@143 44
garbeam@0 45 Configuration
garbeam@0 46 -------------
arg@174 47 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
arg@174 48 and (re)compiling the source code.
