You need to edit your ~/.xinitrc and delet everything from there and then put

Code: Select all

fluxbox &

in there. Then save the file and go to shell.
Now type

Code: Select all

$ startx

[Edit: Btw, did you even bother with searching on the forums for a solution at all?]

also you could edit /etc/rc.conf and put change XSESSION=fluxbox

From the fluxbox manpage

RUNNING FLUXBOX

This program is usually started by the user's startup script, most times called ~/.xinitrc. To run fluxbox, modify the script by adding

exec fluxbox

as the last executed command of the script. When Fluxbox terminates, the X session will terminate too.

I'm sure we are all happy to help you, but you could have taken the time to try "man fluxbox."
