[mythtv-users] Autostart of MythTV

[Lee Nash]

The way I did it on a Gentoo box was to change the initlevel to 3 (multiuser).
Then add this line:

  su - mythuser -c "source /etc/profile && export HOME=~ 
&& /usr/X11R6/bin/startx"

to the /etc/conf.d/local.start (/etc/rc.d/rc.local on other distros).  The
mythuser has a .xinitrc file that look like this:
xset -dpms s off
twm &
mythfrontend&

Reboot and enjoy!!
