Globally as root:
# update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
Then select /usr/bin/fvwm2 as the one with the highest priority.
As a regular user:
Check where fvwm2 is installed:
$ type fvwm2
fvwm2 is /usr/bin/fvwm2
Edit $HOME/.xsession like that:
$ cd
$ cp .xsession .xsession.old
$ echo '#!/bin/sh' > .xsession
$ echo 'exec /usr/bin/fvwm2' >> .xsession
$ chmod 755 .xsession
If you are using xdm that's all. If you are using gdm, select Xsession as
the login session.
