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. Chris On Sun,

Forte

Hi, Does anyone here use Sun's Forte recently? I downloaded the program last week, and had gotten it running. Unfortunately, I have a problem with how the editor's fonts displayed. Currently I use X at pixel depth of 8bpp. I think that's where the problem lies, and the effect is that the fonts
