So it is not an configuration option in a config file. It needs to be run/executed.

I use startx, a shell script, which invokes /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
Code:
$ ls -l $(which startx)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4517 Mar 26  2010 /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

$ ls -l /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc                                 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1057 Jan 10 10:01 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I had to add the xsetroot command to this xinitrc script.

I never used xdm, but the X11 directory in /etc has an xdm directory
Code:
$ ls -l /etc/X11/                                              
total 40

Hi,

This is what I got -

Code:
NBSD# ls -l $(which xsetroot)
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19589 Nov  6 21:14 /usr/X11R7/bin/xsetroot
Code:
ls -l $(which startx)
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4566 Nov  6 21:14 /usr/X11R7/bin/startx
Code:
NBSD# ls -l /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  715 Nov  6 21:14 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Code:
NBSD# ls -l /etc/X11/xdm
total 60

-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1350 Nov  6 21:14 xdm-config
I gave examples from NetBSD, I have Net, Open & DragonFly. I have this issue with NetBSD and OpenBSD. I didnt install xdm in DragonFly and I dont get that in there.

Now I need to append '/usr/X11R7/bin/startx', let me know if thats the one.

If you can could you please confirm -

Xorg -configure -noretro

I guess this wont load the ckerboard.

Best,

Dave
