XDM Background and BPP

[Leo Glynn <glynn@example.com>]

Well last night I sat down and started playing with xdm

1. Background of XDM
    Went to Directory /var/X11/lib/xdm (I think)
     (do a find / -name xdm -print ) 

    Edit XSetup_0 File
      
        killall xearth ; /usr/local/bin/xearth &

  This adds xearth in the background of xdm .. you
  can do xv as  well

  Maybe there is a better way for xkill

2. bpp 16
   I was tired of writing
      startx -- -bpp 16

  So Edit
     XServer file in the same xdm directory above

  and add -bpp 16 after the X Server Command
