That is not the problem. Both with xwd and xv I explicitly specified
the display with the -display option (also tried DISPLAY variable). To
be able to do that I had to give an xhost +localhost command in
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0. The problem with xwd is that it does not seem
to do anything useful unless run from the screen it is grabbing. The
problem with xv is that I cannot issue the necessary commands if it
runs on the screen where the xdm login screen runs.
