Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 265578: x11/xdm: allow X server arguments to be set through xdm configuration. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=265578 --- Description --- Currently the X server arguments are unconditionally set in the rc.d script. As a consequence, xdm ignores any X server argument set in the /usr/local/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file which should be the normal way to do this. This patch changes the rc.d script so that: 1- The xdm_tty variable is set to 'default'. This disable the override and allows xdm to be configured the normal way. xdm uses the ttyv8 terminal by default anyway. 2- The server arguments are only overridden if the user explicitly specify a value for xdm_tty.
