The way I do it on my mythtv frontend is to have this in /etc/local.d/mythtv.start /bin/su - mythtv -c "/usr/bin/startx &>/dev/null" & Then start mythfrontend from ~mythtv/.xinitrc That way there's no display manager or window manager getting in the way. -- Neil Bothwick Isn't 'Criminal Lawyer' rather redundant?
