1. This is exactly my problem,
I'm not using KDE, but GDM (ala KnoppMyth) so there is no /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh to edit. I thought this was clear in my first post, sorry. What's the GDM equivalent? I did a find / myth-load.sh but nothing turned up. Any other knop users with this issue? 2. I'll give xine a whirl, thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Greg Posted At: 26 February 2005 14:10 Posted To: MythTV Users Conversation: [mythtv-users] xvattr and DVD Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] xvattr and DVD > > 1. xvattr is a great tool for getting rid of my blue bars - > > but how do I get it to start everytime gdm does?

As far as I know mplayer does not support dvd menus, you could try xine which does.
