I suggest you read the fvwm man page and the system.fvwmrc file in
/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm.  Fvwm has a lot of configurable options
that you may want to mess around with.  You should copy syste.fvwmrc
to ~/.fvwmrc and modify ~/.fvwmrc to your needs.  Personally, I like
the virtual desktop as it lessens window clutter.

Reading your question again, I'm not sure what you mean when you say
``what I get is a scrollable oversized window on an 800x600
display''.  If what you're talking about is indeed a low-resolution ~
400x300 screen, then your problem is a different one than I assumed
above.  If that is the case you need to read the man page of grfconfig
and create new modes in the resolutions you want.  Unfortunately, this
is rather tricky and you have to be very careful as you may easily
destroy your monitor if you select wrong parameters.  The modes you
setup with grfconfig can be passed to the X server in its mode
argument.
