Where Does KDE's Xsetup Live On FreeBSD?

1

I made the mistake of buying a keyboard with a backlight controlled by the scroll lock key, and in turn need to execute:

xset led 3

Every time the computer boots, just after the X server is started. Since I'm using KDE I thought the best way to get it before the login screen would be to place it in Xsetup, however I can't locate it on my machine.

Does anyone know where Xsetup lives on FreeBSD 11? Alternative approaches would also be welcome (please keep in mind xset must be run after the X server is started though.)

If you are starting X using KDM (kdm4_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf), then your Xsetup is, presumably, in /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup.

If you are running startx manually, just edit ~/.xinitrc and prepend xset led 3 before startkde line.

Wouldn't ~/.xinitrc be called after logging in? I'm aiming for something at/before the login screen so I can see the keyboard to type in a password. Edit: Marked this as correct because the /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup location was perfect - that executes as soon as the X server is started, just a moment before the login screen appears. Thank you. – CoryG – 2017-03-12T19:17:38.533
