[mythtv-users] Myth startup & BlackBox

[MythTV at C4L]

Does anyone on the list have mythfrontend on BlackBox and have
mythfrontend auto-load on boot up?

I've been beating my brains out trying to find the right way to
configure this thing to fire up when the machine boots up into X and
auto-logs in as the myth user.

I have the following in .xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh

xset -dpms s off &
/usr/local/bin/irxevent &
/usr/local/bin/mythfrontend &
exec blackbox

I've copied it to ~root as well, thinking that maybe root logs in first,
then switches to the myth user.  If I logout and log back in, it seems
to read this file.  But for some reason it is ignored on the initial
load when the system boots up.

How does everyone else do it when you use Black Box?
