I configured gdm to automaticall login mythtv and then start mythfrontend inside /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. You may want to start it from the console for debugging, it's up to you. I find it easier to have mythfrontend log to a file. My xinitrc looks like this userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap xset -dpms s off xhost + xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0 /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend -l /var/log/mythfront
