When I startx, the twm or fvwm or fvwm2 start with the virtual window corresponding
to the fisical one. It means if I go with the mouse against the edges the mouse stops
or jumps to a next neighbour window. 

But if i open xv, just the starting window or the command window (left clicking the picture)
are filling almost all the screen area. Not only the fonts appear bigger, but any X application (pics  ...),
in the same proportion. It looks like a wrong resolution mode. I am trying these ones

Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

but seem not to work. Using 

 DisplaySize     320 240

does not change the situation as well.

Thanks again for the help,
nader
