How are you trying to start wmaker, fvvm, & afterstep? It sounds to me
like you're just running the window manager executable, but there's not
X session running. Try using 'startx' instead .. You'll need to make an
.xinitrc file to tell it what window manager to load, but that's trivial
..

man startx
