Even using startx. Create a .xsession file in your home directory that
launches
fvwm (probably needs exec fvwm as last command in that file) after
starting a
few other apps (xterm and the like) in the background.
Sample xsession files are probably in /usr/X11R6/ someplace, use
'find /usr/X11R6 -name Xsession\*' to locate them.
If starting X with xdm, there's a file /etc/X11/windowmanagers (or some
such)
listing available window managers. xdm starts the first of these per
default.

BS. You can't change resolutions on a Mac from Linux. Boot with the
resolution
you want to use. fbset is useless for Macs.
