[Hello list btw, my first posting here..]
Just to add my setup to the mix:
I don't have a regular screen connected, nor do I have a keyboard. The
machine is hooked up to the TV, and I use a bluetooth-enabled
phone+freevused to control it, running Gentoo linux. I don't need to be
able to run X as a regular user (I don't actually run X at all, I use
the framebuffer for freevo).
My setup is quite simple, but spread out a little.
First of all, I have a freevo user with a shell, but an invalid password
(meaning it's not possible to log in as the freevo user normally).
Second, my inittab:
-------------------
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /sbin/autofreevo 38400 tty1 linux
/sbin/autofreevo (more descriptive name than autologin):
--------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
exec sudo -H -u freevo /home/freevo/freevostart
This will launch the script /home/freevo/freevostart as the user freevo.
It requires the running user to be allowed to run sudo without a
password, which typically is only root. Luckily for us, init runs as root.
/home/freevo/freevostart (this is where the real action is):
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Set some env. variables
export OPENGL_PROFILE=nvidia
export SDL_NOMOUSE=1
export USERNAME=${USER}
. /home/${USERNAME}/.bashrc
cd ~
/usr/bin/fbset 800x600
/usr/bin/freevo
This will set up a couple env. variables that are needed, source the
.bashrc (since it contains some more env.variables), make sure the
framebuffer is in the correct mode, and launch freevo.
Currently I only have one problem, that I don't think is actually
related to this setup (after watching a movie, every button-press on the
remote results in a line of text being printed, pushing the framebuffer
graphics up and out of the screen. Restarting freevo solves the problem
(shutdown, then agetty will respawn).
Hope this is helpful for someone...
