To use fvwm:

1.  cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc $HOME/.xinitrc
2.  Edit $HOME/.xinitrc and change the line that says `twm &' to `fvwm &'
3.  Save the file.  Type startx.

To set DISPLAY:

Don't.

startx, which uses xinit, will set it for you.

If you happen to be in a position where it's not set, then set it as
follows:

* If the program you're trying to run is on the same host where you're
  running X, set DISPLAY to :0
* If the program is not running on the same host as the X server, the
  set the DISPLAY to the hostname of the host running the X server,
  followed by :0
