Fvwm does not depend on an X server because it might be running on a
headless machine while an X server is running on the machine the user is
sitting in front of. The X Window System is a *network* system. Every
window on your screen could be coming from a different remote computer.
So could the window manager, which is just another process to the X
server.
Install the xorg package.
