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
