Description Adam Fabian 2005-01-01 13:43:35 UTC

The source-code of XFree86 and xorg are patched to make the background black.  These makes it impossible to restore the standard X background with xsetroot -def.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run xorg with default configuration.
2. run xsetroof -def
3. 

Actual Results:  
xsetroof -def has no effect.

Expected Results:  
xsetroot -def should set the standard X background, the greyish grid.

A black background can be done through configuration files (xsetroot -solid
black in the system xinitrc, for instance).  The source code shouldn't be
patched for this.

Hmm, wonder how that happened. I would've sworn I pulled that.

The source is no longer patched in current xorg; just -br is added to the
default startx args.
