I don't know anything about fvwm95, but if you put the following line
in your .bash_profile or equivalent, 'ls' should display in color:

  eval `dircolors`

Note the backwards apostrophes.  If you want to see what it does, try
typing dircolors at the bash command prompt.

If it doesn't work, upgrade to fileutils 3.14-3 or higher.

If you want this to work in an xterm, you have to make sure you have a
color-enabled xterm.
