I am trying to run fvwm in the cygwin bash shell that came

[FVWM][main]:<<ERROR>> can't open the display
is there a setting i have not set yet?

Make sure that you have the DISPLAY environment variable set. If you start
fvwm from within X, or from an init script, this will be done. If you try
to start fvwm from a console outside of X you will have to start it
specifying your display. (On most setups this is :0, but I'm not sure if
that's the case on cygwin)
Try to run fvwm with the command
fvwm -d :0
