Here's the format of the /etc/inittab on my system: # TERMINALS c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux So try changing it to something like this: c1:12345:respawn:su mythuser -c startx with 'mythuser' being the username you want to run mythfrontend and 'startx' replaced by whatever script or program you want. If X is exited for killed for some reason, then init should respawn it again. Of course, you should also read man inittab for more info. HTH, Matt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
