Window Manager Under TinyX Help!!!

Dear.

Now I am runing TinyX on ARM. Have run Xfbdev successful.

The next step, I want to run a window manager in ARM linux.

I have found swm in TinyX/bin direction.

But When i runing swm ERROR:

could not open display

if i run swm -display /dev/fb0? Also it error
could not open display /dev/fb0

Also there are many other window manager, such as qvwm, fvwm, icewm,
jwm, karmen, so on

Which window manager do you prefer to use in Embedded Linux?

I have cross compiled jwm and karmen for Embedded Linux. But when run
jwm, karmen, it also ERROR as:

karmen: can't open display

The display name should be like :0 or :0.0
