fvwm2 and AutoRaise

SuSE Linux: Versions since 4.2
XFree86: Version 3.1.2E

Symptom:

A statement AutoRaise 200, entered directly into the file .fvwm2rc brings an error message:

[FVWM][executeModule]: <> No such module /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2 
AutoRaise 200

Cause:

With the change of the versions from fvwm1 to fvwm2 the options and their usage have also changed. AutoRaise and other functionalities are called in fvwm2 via modules> They are not entered anymore as statements in the .fvwm2rc.

Solution:

Autoraise is not implemented now anymore through the statement Autoraise ..., but you must add the following line explicitly in the functions InitFunction and RestartFunction :

+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 200

Analogous this is valid for other modules.

Please read the manpage for fvwm2 and the particular modules' manpages.
