Background image for xdm

[Maya Angelou]

Hello,
I'm trying to switch to linux and I wondered if it was possible to put a background image in xdm? I thought I saw on a some site that had to file Xsetup_0 I followed the procedure but not work. So, can you help me with this. Any other information regrading this topic is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
To view a screen in a basic xdm, use software such as xv or qiv (much lighter) that modify the image screen command line. Once you figured out how it uses one or the other, you can just put in your order. loginrc or. bashrc and. cshrc .... following the system you use. I guess you know what these files perform in your operating system. If not then you can find more information on the same on your distributions official site.

Hello,
I think you can search for the following software poxtra_102 xdm (X Display Manager) is a graphical interface used mainly for logging (as kdm for kde or mdkkdm for mandrake, gdm for gnome). xdm is really minimalist contrast to other cities. For any more problem, it must actually be in it .bashrc. I hope this information will help you.

Hello,
I think I managed. So I made a mix.

In / Etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config I added at the end

Here is what I have done

DisplayManager._0.setup: / etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0

then I created a file Xsetup_0

# / Bin / sh
qiv-x / etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/img.jpg-f-i

This setting worked for me, though I do not know that this file should be exactly like that.

Hello,
The above is correct and you will be available with these option when you are going to use them

-F is fullscreen for
-I is to remove the path that appears
-X is to put the image on the "desktop" and leave the root

Do not forget the x-if there is more the window to enter the login
