The F Virtual Window Manager (The F currently has no official meaning) is a virtual window manager for the X Window system. Originally a twm derivative, FVWM has evolved into a powerful and highly configurable environment for UNIX systems.
This config uses a primarily blue color scheme. Dark blue background with blue window borders. There are four virtual desktops numbered with roman numerals one the pager at the bottom right of the screen. The floating menu for opening programs is on the left mouse button while kill options are on the right mouse button. The middle mouse button is setup to show open program listings. It is a minimalist setup and runs extremely fast on even the slowest systems.
To use this config file simple cut/paste it into your home directory under the name ".fvwm2rc" and start X windows with the fvwm window manager.

How can I configure xorg.conf config on OpenBSD ?
If you need to run XWindow (Xorg) from the command line on OpenBSD here is the idea. This should be applicable for every system running Xorg as the X server like Linux, FreeBSD, Opensolaris, etc. Login as root and run command below:
# X -configure [ ...some output...] Xorg detected your mouse at device /dev/wsmouse. Please check your config if the mouse is still not operational, as by default Xorg tries to autodetect the protocol. Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new. To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new' # X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
If there are no errors and you can see the default xwindow of OpenBSD, the Xorg is successfully configured. To use this config as default copy the /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Now you can type "startx" via command line to start X window. If you are paranoid, try using "exec startx" instead. This will start X like normal and when you exit X the system will log you out of the account. Setting up an alias in .profile is probably easier, "alias sx='exec startx' "
