XDM configuration

K

I've moved to x11/xdm for my login at startup, I'd like to customize it with a background and a few small things. I've read the xdm section in the handbook and everything on google isn't any help. Does anyone know how I can do this?
 
There are 5 configuration files for xdm in FreeBSD
  1. /etc/tty
  2. /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
  3. /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
  4. /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources
  5. /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup

/etc/tty
enable xdm for not in FreeBSD

/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
points out where to find any configuration files in each xdm stages.

/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
a sh script to configure which program(s) will run when local X Server starts successfully.

/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources
configure look and feel of xdm login box

/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup
a sh script to configure which program(s) will run after you login successfully.

If you want to change wallpaper in xdm, you need to configure a program to draw background in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0.

If you want to change look & feel of xdm login box, e.g. color, size, greeting text, you need to configure them in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xresourses
