You can't run fvwm from the Linux console, you have to start X first,
and then fvwm. There are several ways to make sure fvwm gets run
automatically when you start X:
configure it as your "x-window-manager" with update-alternatives:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
hard-code it into a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession script, e.g.:
xset b 5 100 100
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
xsetroot -solid black
xterm -bw 0 -geometry 1014x100+0+690 &
unclutter &
fvwm2
I do it the second way (more or less). If you start X with "startx" you
need to call the script ~/.xinitrc, if you use a display manager (gdm,
xdm or kdm) you need to call it ~/.xsession
