Does it work if you run xmodmap from a shell when fvwm is running?
I've had a similar problem:  Although xmodmap is called from
.xinitrc, the keyboard layout is reset to the default after that.
The only solution I could find was to run xmodmap with a delay so
that it would run some seconds after fvwm startup.  This is the
line from ~/.xinitrc:

  ( sleep 4; xset s off; setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap; ) &
