            Bug ID: 227967
           Summary: [usability] xorg-server ships with black background
                    which makes debugging X hard
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wkoszek at FreeBSD.org

Historically and even right now (e.g.: in OpenBSD) upon starting blank X server
one would get black/white "mess". It's easy to see things are working right,
because this non-blank, non-empty image means that the X started and it's OK.

On FreeBSD the default 'background' after starting X is black background.

It's very hard to tell if it's a bug and there's a problem with a display,
especially on T410 with KMS where things don't work out-of-the-box, and X
configuration requires fiddling.

It'd be good if X shipped with some non-blank non-black background.
