Hi all. I added xsetroot -solid "#2f4f4f" to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc but nothing happened. I deleted it from xinitrc and added it to /etc/X11/xdm/xsetup_0 and it worked. is there any reason why xinitrc isn't read when X starts using xdm? thanks!! xucaen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
