I use feh, which is imlib based. There's also esetroot and many others. Code: feh --bg-scale <picture> Put it into your .xinitrc or whatever script you use to initialize X. Also, I couldn't avoid to notice that you are operating as root. Not a good idea overall if you plan on having internet connection on this machine.
