[mythtv-users] Automatic Console Login

[Jason Ramey]

I use gdm with debian sid. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it supposed to
be .xsession instead of .Xsession? This works just fine for me. I do believe
I had to add:
-snip-
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
export QT_XFT=1
-snip-
to my .xsession for it to work though. Hope that might help.
