I don't have this file (/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc). What is inside this
file and how could I do the same. My system is a RedHat 7.3. Could it be
a way to export another PATH if I want to run XDriectFB instead of X?

:-(

But I'll even try it. Since I tested ByzantinOS and played with a
translucent xterm I love XDirectFB. Is there a way to select the level
of translucency without a wheel-mouse? Like "xterm -transculent 50" for
50% transculencency?

Thanks
