It has nothing to do with fvwm95.

You should edit your XF86Config file and change sequence
of videomodes or remove modes you don't want whatsoever.
Do not delete them, use # has marks to mark them out.

E.g. I left the only one:

-----------------------------------------------
[snip]
# 800x600 @ 72 Hz, 48.0 kHz hsync
# Modeline "800x600"     50     800  856  976 1040   600  637  643  666
+hsync +vsync
#Modeline "1022x766"    75    1022 1048 1184 1328   766  771  777  806
+hsync +vsync
# 1024x768 @ 70 Hz, 56.5 kHz hsync

Modeline "1024x768"    75    1024 1048 1184 1328   768  771  777  806
-hsync -vsync
-----------------------------------------------

Another alternative is to delete all the modes you
don't want in this section:

-----------------------------------------------
 Subsection "Display" 
        Depth       16
        Modes       "800x600" "1022x766" "1024x768"
 pro    ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     1024 820
-----------------------------------------------

So, in "Modes" line, I can delete "800x600" and
"1022x766", then it will go straight in 1024x768.
