Lane, I have something similar to that, on boot I startx then using .xinitrc I display a xmessage box asking Start Myth. When you want to use myth, press enter on the remote to start it up.
To do this I replaced the startup of X in the init.d scripts with this #! /bin/sh su mythtv -c "startx > /var/tmp/startx.log &" & This starts X with a window manager, as userid mythtv Then in the mythtv home directory created this .xinitrc file to do the other steps required xset -dpms s off & # xclock mwm & irxevent & irexec & nvidia-settings -l while :; do xmessage -font 12x24romankana -buttons "Start Myth TV:1" -center -default "Start Myth TV" MythTV mythfrontend -l /var/tmp/mythfrontend.log done This starts the mwm window manager, lirc programs, settings from my nvidia card, then the xmessage / mythfrontend loop. To shutdown the machine, just exit mythfrontend, then when the backend is idle, it will autoshutdown.
