<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I want to set up auto-login and mythfrontent auto
start. There seem to be a lot of options and not much advice for how to
choose between them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The wiki page for setting up mythtv on fedora suggests editing
/etc/gdm/custom.conf to auto-login, then using a shell script to start the
frontend, but it’s for KDE and I can’t find the equivalent for
~/.kde/Autostart in Gnome. Is there one?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Another wiki page <a
href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Auto_Login">http://mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Auto_Login</a>
gives an option 1 with sub-options no window manager and window manager.
Not completely sure what a window manager does (different than Gnome?) or if I
need/want one. There is an option 2 that seems simpler until I get to all
the stuff on runlevels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I am trying to accomplish is to auto-login, start
x, then start mythfronend. I’d like to be able to escape out of
mythfrontend and get the Gnome interface if I want to. What is the best
way to accomplish this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>TIA….Steve<o:p></o:p></p>
