I think there's some issues with doing it this way. I don't remember if the Wiki section on running Freevo automatically from startup linked to the original article on starting up applications automatically in X, but it has something to do with UID/GID. Also SDL might not like the fact that it cannot create additional windows in X (without a WM) and mplayer won't run (might work if display=xv)? I haven't tried messing with this since the 1.3.1 release, so changes to the freevo display code might have resolved some of these issues. I'm using blackbox WM if I run in X, but nowadays I just use framebuffer mode. > instead of: > > exec twm& ?? > > How do you tell it start in fullscreen mode?
