The best way to understand the command is to try different values.
You can issue the command without restarting fvwm with FvwmTalk.
Refer to the man page text below.
For "scrolling" try values like 100 (tenth of a second) and 1000
(1 second). Move the pointer to the edge of the screen and hold it
there a while. Try the righthand edge of the screen first.
For "moving" try 1, 100, and 1000. With the mouse put the pointer
on the frame or titlebar of a window and try to drag the window off
the edge of the screen.
EdgeResistance scrolling moving
Tells how hard it should be to change the desktop
viewport by moving the mouse over the edge of the
screen and how hard it should be to move a window over
the edge of the screen.
The first parameter tells how many milliseconds the
pointer must spend on the screen edge before fvwm will
move the viewport. This is intended for people who use
EdgeScroll 100 100
but find themselves accidentally flipping pages when
they don't want to.
The second parameter tells how many pixels over the
edge of the screen a window's edge must move before it
actually moves partially off the screen. By default
the viewport is moved a full page in the requested
direction, but if you used EdgeScroll and set any
values other than zero they will be used instead.
Note that, with
EdgeScroll 0 0
it is still possible to move or resize windows across
the edge of the current screen. By making the first
parameter to EdgeResistance 10000 this type of motion
is impossible. With EdgeResistance less than 10000 but
greater than 0 moving over pages becomes difficult but
not impossible. See also EdgeThickness.
After trying a few values, the man page explanation should make more
sense.
