I start X/myth in multiple steps:
1- Mythbackend is started through gentoo's rc scripts (there are rc
scripts for redhat too, I guess)
2- My "rc.local" (I think that's how it's named in redhat) runs the command:
xinit /home/xinitrc > /home/mythstartup.log 2>&1 &
3- xinit loads X, and then reads the xinitrc file to see which apps to
load... here it is:
#!/bin/bash
flwm &
amixer sset Line 100% mute cap &
irexec &
irxevent &
xset -dpms s off
mythfrontend > /home/mythfrontend.log
nvtv -t -r 800,600 -S NTSC -s Small --set Flicker:100 &
4- Enjoy myth! =)
This should work fine with RedHat too (unless they're doing something
weird/wrong...)
