I recently upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and ported fvwm from Macports. The porting went smooth but cannot configure X11 to work properly. I added xinit to X11 app but the window manager (fvwm) does not open separate screen and most commands don't work - e.g. setroot, AddToMenu Window-Ops don't exist. I tried to open separate space for x11 with mission control but that does not help.
Is it possible to have an X11 window manager with Yosemite? How to configure it?

1. Make sure "Displays have separate Spaces" is OFF. XQuartz does not work with this configuration yet.

2. You want to switch XQuartz to full-screen mode (Preferences > Output > Full-screen mode).

3. If you were expecting to use an X11 window manager to manage native windows... this does not work and will never work. X11 can't even see native windows, much less manage them.
