This was initially a question of why I couldn't get keys to work with
mplayer (the dvd player used inMythTV).
I have installed MythTV using a minimal install of FC3 (choose
custom->minimal when installing) because I want the leanest possible
solution.
I have MythTV working otherwise which means that I have set up the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf correctly (or so I believe).
I am not using twm (the X-window manager) because MythTV is the only
application using the screen.
But
When I choose "Play DVD" the DVD starts playing - good - but the
keyboard is not recognized by the mplayer. I first thought that was an
error in mplayer, but a nice guy on this list made me aware of that it
might be a focus problem.
At the moment I have a very simple start-up sequence. I just start X,
then mythbackend and finally mythfrontend. Works fine.
If I start twm, then twm will make mplayer launch a new window to be
positioned. Then it will fail, so obviously I am missing something.
What are the options here? Can it work without twm? I guess so, but what
say you ???
