[mythtv-users] Restarting X problem

[Allen Edwards]

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.
