On my setup (FC3, ATRPMs, MythTV 0.18.1, Ratpoison as window manager) I get a prompt to check I want exit of out MythTV. If I select "Yes" then it takes me back to a screen where I have a big image that contains a MythTV logo and a banner that says "Press SRS on the remote to start MythTV". (There's a button labelled SRS on my remote which starts mythfrontend if it's not already running). I don't exit to a command prompt. The image gets loaded by this line in .ratpoisonrc: exec xloadimage -onroot -quiet -center /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythtvstart.jpg If you're going back to a command prompt I'm wondering whether you're booting into runlevel 5 - perhaps you're booting to runlevel 3 (controlled in inittab) and then running startx? I boot to runlevel 5. HTH, Phill _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
