I'm gonna subscribe to the myth tv mail list and maybe some of these
things are gonna get answered here. But I'm gonna ask some of these
anyway, they are probably low hanging fruit for some of the experts
here.
What I'm thinking that I want to accomplish is a computer tv - thus, I
want it to boot up, runlevel 5, auto login as mythtv user, and autostart
mythfrontend.
Thus far...
1 - it boots (no great accomplishment)
2 - runlevel 5 (got it)
3 - auto login (nope)
- I set the KDE Control Center - Administrator mode
- Enable password-less logins for user mythtv
- Enable auto-login (mythtv)
- Pre-select User (mythtv)
- Automatically log in again after X server crash
Why won't it automatically log in as user mythtv without entering a
password?
4 Autostart mythfrontend
- do I change /home/mythtv/.Xclients-default
- from exec startkde
- to exec startkde mythfrontend
or
is there a better way to automatically launch a startup application in
KDE?
Lastly - this is all about my lack of understanding of XFree86...If I
have in my 'screen' section of XF86Config...
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
even if I switch to 640x480 using the control-shift-nkpd+ or - then the
screen switches properly to 640x480 but on a 800x600 desktop which means
that it will scroll and not at all suitable for a TV. There isn't any
'modelines' in my 'Monitor' section so the only way I've been able to
ensure no scrolling is to have only the "640x480" line in the Modes
section which is too painful to even consider checking my email. Is
there any other options?
Thanks,
Craig
