I thought I saw a post about this but I cannot find it after searching
google and the archives.
I am having this annoying problem maybe 1/3 of the time or less when I
restart X. I can't correlate what I am doing with it but what happens
upon leaving setup or hitting CRTL-ALT-BS is that I get a black screen
or a desktop without the top bar and no myth. Last evening, it was a
black screen with a cursor and nothing else. Hitting CTRL-F2 did not
give me a new desktop although I have seen it where it will in which
case CTRL-F1 would then clear the problem. Usually, this does not work
and I have to CTRL-ALT-BS again, which usually but not always cures the
problem and mythfrontend starts. Like I said, it usually starts fine.
It has always started fine when booting up.
Problem is that I have both a TV and a projector and the easiest way to
switch between them is to restart X. Any other way requires using a
mouse, which is much more difficult than just restarting X and as the
projector takes longer to warm up that X does to restart, it isn't
really a problem.
As I remember, this was some myth setup issue and someone had a
solution. Anyone know what I need to do?
Help is much appreciated.
