xdm, xsetbg -- not working with background image
i've been trying to get xdm to display an alternative background image because the one that comes with Debian sucks.
in the Xsetup file i have a line: xsetbg -shrink /etc/X11/xdm/picture.jpg & this will not work. i can run xinit then run the above command and it works. it just won't work for xdm for some reason. i keep getting this god awful cross hatches. i also tried using xli which does the same thing, it actually just makes the background white instead, but won't display the image. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks. |
Ive forgotten how to set an image background for xdm, but recently had it running with a screensaver background, maybe you want to try it. Just put:
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/yourfavoritescreensaver -root & in Xsetup |
could someone try the xsetbg for me
could someone try the xsetbg for me.
In Debian, you need to make sure the xloadimage package is installed. Edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup and/or Xsetup_0 file(s) and put something like: /usr/bin/xsetbg /path/to/image/image.jpg & this will not work for me, and i want to pimp out the login screen, however i don't wanna clog up my box with all the Gnome stuff.. thanks much.. |
