Personally I use KDE, since this is the best supported by mythtv, and one of the most popular desktops out there. I use Gnome on my "work" machine because I prefer it over KDE. Besides, once it's running the window manager makes little difference.
As far as how to start up mythfrontend... Go to a terminal window logged in as the mythtv user. With FVWM you probably need to right or left-click on the desktop to get a menu of apps. Select the terminal. Once you do that, edit your ".xsession" file (note the leading period is important). If you don't have one, create one. Use Pico or VI... My personal preference is vi. Once you're editing it, on the last line in the file (or first if it's a new file), put in "/usr/bin/mythfrontend" (presuming that's where it's installed). Then if in vi, press ctrl+c, :, then type "wq!" and hit enter. Once you're back to the command line, type "chmod +x .xsession" and hit enter. Now voila... Log off, log on and you should have mythfrontend auto launched. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Piers Kittel Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 4:51 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Starting up mythfrontend automatically?
