heres a tip. If you have another linux machine you can run mythfrontend
over the network. I assume you have ssh set up on your mythbox. On your
desktop box do:

ssh -X mythbox
(give your password)
mythfrontend

mythfrontend should appear on your desktop. Watching TV will probably
not work over the network, but doing setup etc should work.
If running on a relatively recent version of OpenSSH (and you should /never/ run on an old version), I recommend:

ssh -Y mythbox

The -X, by default, results in "untrusted" X11 forwarding, so you'll typically get some problems with nearly all X apps (including MythTV) such as "Bad atom" this and "X Error" that because they need "trusted" access to display resources.
