RE: qnx 6.2 + XFree86 4.2.0 + fvwm-2.4.6

do you already have XFree86 configured and running under its
default window manager?
if not, read this mailing list archive on how to do it:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=99
if yes, then do the following to switch from twm to fvwm:
vi $HOME/.xinitrc
and put
fvwm
in it.
read FAQ on www.fvwm.org for more information.
