Re: Can xdm display a high res background image?



In your /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 file you can do a /usr/bin/X11/xsetbg
myfile.jpg &

This should set your background whenever xdm is managing and X
display...

Check out X.themes.org and download some of the themes and you'll find
some interesting stuff.
