So does this mean that you could do something like xscreensaver, and have a groovy animation as your xdm background? that would be way cool :) Matthew -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Steward of the Cambridge Tolkien Society Selwyn College Computer Support http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Chamber/8841/ http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/tolkien/ http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/

And to change the default xdm background, install Xbanner.

Re: xdm at startup?
Edit your /etc/X11/config file and change the no-start-xdm to start-xdm. On Sun, 29 Nov 1998, Matt Garman wrote: > > I installed xdm on my system.

xdm at startup?
I installed xdm on my system. Everything is fine, but at install-time I chose to *NOT* have it start at boot-time. Now I wish to have it invoked automatically at startup. What do I need to do? Also, is there a way to change the default xdm background (i.e. the login screen)? The greyish default is kinda nasty. Thanks!
