That seems to be the problem.  X.org does not tell fvwm the proper
geometry.

There is no way to print the layout directly, but you can find out
the position and dimensions like this:

Open an FvwmConsole window and type

  style foo positionplacement screen 0 +0p +0p
  exec xterm -T foo -e sleep 10

-> Window appears in top left corner of screen 0.

  style foo positionplacement screen 0 -0p -0p
  exec xterm -T foo -e sleep 10

-> Window appears in bottom right corner of screen 0.

  style foo positionplacement screen 1 +0p +0p
  exec xterm -T foo -e sleep 10
  style foo positionplacement screen 1 -0p -0p
  exec xterm -T foo -e sleep 10

and so on for the corners of the other screens.
