Package: xdm
Version: 4.1.0-16
It is not possible to chose an own logo for the login screen via xdm in
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources. The login widget shows the text only. The
delivered logos (debian.xpm, debianbw.xpm, XFree86.xpm, XFree86bw.xpm)
can be used without any problems.
One may (hopefully) reproduce the error the following way:
* In /etc/X11/xdm/pixpaps:
/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps# cp debian.xpm test.xpm
/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps# ls -l
(...)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54701 16. Apr 2002 debian.xpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54701 3. Okt 12:05 test.xpm
(...)
* Changing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources:
(...)
#if PLANES >= 8
xlogin*logoFileName: /etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/test.xpm
! xlogin*LogoFileName: /etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/debian.xpm
#else
(...)
* Restarting X
* In /var/log/xdm.log:
xdm error (pid 961): Unable to stat() pixmap file
/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/test.xpm
* A small C-program shows no difference of stat()-return values, of
course:
---snip--: test.c :---
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
const char test[] = "/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/test.xpm";
const char debian[] = "/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/debian.xpm";
int main()
{
struct stat* buf;
printf("stat(\"%s\", buf) = %d \n",
test, stat(test,buf));
printf("stat(\"%s\", buf) = %d \n",
debian, stat(debian,buf));
return 0;
}
---snap---
* It returns:
# ./test
stat("/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/test.xpm", buf) = 0
stat("/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/debian.xpm", buf) = 0
* I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 2.4, Kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4, libc 2.2.5
Thanks a lot for any useful hint.
Cheers,
Matthias
