I'm getting closer, at boot sometimes I get a single static frame to the
screen, mostly just a blank screen on the TV. I always get my desktop on
the monitor, but nothing on the TV.
If I start mythfronted on the monitor and watch a recording, the recording
appears on the TV fine.
In /var/log/XFree86.0.log there is an error (EE) line:
(II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a
(II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 0.0.2
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6
(EE) open /dev/fb1: No such file or directory
(II) resource ranges after probing:
[0] -1 0 0xffe00000 - 0xffffffff (0x200000) MX[B](B)
[1] -1 0 0x00100000 - 0x3fffffff (0x3ff00000) MX[B]E(B)

(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(II) Loading sub module "vbe"
(II) LoadModule: "vbe"
Also if you try to do:
$ export DISPLAY=:0.1
$ mythfrontend
You get
Xlib: connection to ":0.1" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server :0.1
So I'm thinking that /dev/fb1 isn't loaded until after XFree loads...but I'm
not sure how to fix it...
The fb1 device is created with the saa7127 module right? All of this is
setup in /etc/modules.conf...
I modprobe ivtv in /etc/rc.local
My default runlevel in inittab is 5
Attached is my XFree86Config-4

This isn't related in any way to mythtv, so ask on the appropriate list.
