I do this by starting X via the command 'startx -- X :0 -logo -p 5'. It has no effect (it still blanks to black). But if I pass it a different argument, like '-save 12', that argument works. If I give it 'startx -- X :0 -logo -p -v off', it blanks out my application windows but not my root window and begins drawing X logos over my root window! Am I doing something wrong or is there something wierd about the X server? I realize this isn't a very urgent question, but it has made me curious. 2) What does one need to do to use xdm under SCO? No matter what I do, I still get the regular login banner. I read the man pages, I have the configuration files in /usr/lib/X11/xdm and still zippo. I'm sure its something basic that I am doing wrong, but since I am kind of new to this... --------- Jim Santos Bull Worldwide Information Systems santos@granite.cr.bull.com
