Looks like incomplete help entries in the X11 alternative name for the x11 
driver.  I suggest changing the --help text to lower-case x11.

That would usually be the result of the X resources database containing a
generic *background entry that sets the background to something else than
white.  SuSE linux does that, too, IIRC.  You'll have to query xrdb to get
all the fine details.
