The way I do it now is modify the xconsole invocation line in the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 (e.g. using -fn, -geometry, etc. parameters). But it seems like I was able to change some of the xconsole and xlogin resources at one time by modifying the /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources_0 file. > > 2.

I don't know about this one but you may need to add a configuration line to your /etc/syslog.conf file.
