You'll need to use sudo (add your myth user to the /etc/sudoers file).
Mine runs like this from a script in ~/.kde/Autostart/mythstartup
#!/bin/bash #Overscan the TV-out sudo /usr/sbin/nvtv -r 640,480 -s HUGE -S NTSC -t -C Convert

If you use 'nvtv' to overscan your nvidia card AND you run mythtv as a non-root user, are you able to call nvtv from the commandline and have it do it's work?
I've googled for answers and searched the mailing list/forums at the nvtv site but haven't come up with anything yet to explain the following behavior:
I'm running Fedora Core 2 with Mythtv (thanks Jarod), using a GeForce 2MX AGP card w/ S-Video out to my TV. Mythfrontend runs as the 'mythtv' user which is auto-logged in. Finally, I have the 'nvtvd' daemon running so non-root users can run 'nvtv' to control overscan, etc. When a non-root user runs 'nvtv' at a shell prompt with the command-line options, like this:
/home/mythtv/nvtv-0.4.7-bin/nvtv -S NTSC -s LARGE -r 800,600 \ --set Brightness#:-25
then instead of just setting the options I want and being done with it, the nvtv GUI launches and sets all of the options I specified -- but doesn't actually 'apply' them.
So every time I boot my myth box (granted, not very often!) there's a minor annoyance that I have to manually click 'Apply' and quit nvtv. Are you seeing this too and just ignoring it, or have you found a good workaround?
