<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Ok, I looked
the FAQ over. And, I don't know what to do. I assume it has something
to do with the inability for a user (or root for that matter -- i tried
that) to switch to DISPLAY:1.<br>
There should be an easy way to do this, rather than running at init3<br>
<br>
As I mentioned, I have no problem running myth to the computer display
with<br>
<br>
# export DISPLAY=:0<br>
# mythfrontend<br>
<br>
But, I receive the following error if <br>
<br>
# export DISPLAY=:1<br>
# mythfrontend<br>
mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server: 1<br>
<br>
Any other help would be MUCH appreciated (Gee I can see the KDE display
on the TV, but I can't get to it! Frustrating!)<br>
Seems like it should be easy.....<br>

Interesting. It could be a XAuth problem. There's a neat faq on:

that might be of some help.

<blockquote type="cite">If you started two X servers, each should
be individually addressable and setting the DISPLAY variable before
starting mythtv should send it to the correct display. Try:
<br>
<br>
export DISPLAY=localhost:0

mythfrontend
<br>
[exit myth]
<br>
<br>
and
<br>
<br>
export DISPLAY=localhost:1
<br>
mythfrontend
<br>
[exit myth]
<br>
<br>
this should send mythtv both displays, one at a time and then you can
hardcode that value into a startup script.

Thanks Yan. That sounds easy enough.
<br>
When I do the above, I receive:
<br>
"mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server localhost:0"
<br>
<br>
I tried the local host's name and it's IP address with the same result.
Do I need to install something in the xorg.conf? Or maybe a
modification elsewhere?
<br>
<br>
(Obviously, I am not familar with mythtv and X server errors)
