Make sure one of the 'dm's is installed.  I use gdm, since that's got
nice and easy configuration.

Tell gdm to login the mythtv user automatically.

Personally I use a timed login (so that if it crashes and goes back to
the login screen, it'll autologin again), and you need to add the
following section to your /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLoginDelay=5
TimedLogin=mythtv


(mythtv is the name of my user for myth)
