[XFree86] Initial X Screen

[John Lowell]

Typically when one starts X, the first thing one views is a gray cross-checked background with a black X on it. Recently, I've seen implementations where a black screen appears and the X has a kind of white background. Doing some questioning elsewhere, I'm told that a patch is responsible for this blacki background and not a script revision. Might someone identify this patch for me and the site from which it can be obtained? Many thanks.   John Lowell
