Usually in runlevel 5 (X) .xinitrc file from home
directory is ignored (at least that's the behaviour on my
machine) and instead the contents of .xsession is executed.
The .xsession file _must_ be executable
So:
-- create a file .xsession
echo fvwm2 >$HOME/.xsession
-- make it executable
chmod 755 $HOME/.xsession
And it should work.(Works for me :-))
If it doesn't work you must figure out the X startup sequence
in runlevel 5 (see files in /etc/X11/xdm) which is not an easy
task _or_ keep looking for an answer to your problem _or_
enjoy runlevel 3 :-)
