I always forget to back this up when I upgrade my system. But I have a
folder a images I like to use as the background for the xdm login
screen. I also have a perl script that picks one of the files in said
folder at random, it prints the name of the file with the absolute path.
In /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0, I have a line that currently reads:
/usr/bin/X11/xv -root -max -quit `random_background.pl`
Instead of the image, I am given that startup spalsh screen that gives
copyright/about type information about XV. The above line works when I'm
already in X, just not for xdm. I have also tried using xsetbg, that
gives the lovely grey grid (X without a server). Any hints.
