Just follow this guide completely and you'll have a completely perfect
system, bloat-free and all. I noticed you said you have KDE and I'll
let you in on a little secret (well its not really a secret) KDE is
way huge and bloated and way more than you'll ever need to run MythTV.
At most all you need is fluxbox or evilwm. Read the guide. Trust me.

footprint.

Yup - that's what I'm running. Now if I can only figure out how to
get it to auto-login and startx automatically.</pre>

I'm running gentoo and I have this in my /etc/conf.d/local.start:<br>
<br>
# /etc/conf.d/local.start<br>
<br>
# This is a good place to load any misc programs<br>
# on startup ( use 1>&2 to hide output)<br>
<br>
# Start myth in a loop<br>
(while [ /bin/true ] ; do chown mythtv
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log; sudo -H -u mythtv startx
&>/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log; done) &<br>
<br>
<br>
And this in /home/mythtv/.xinitrc:<br>
<br>
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off<br>
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset s noblank<br>
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms<br>
sleep 2<br>
nvidia-settings --load-config-only<br>
ratpoison &<br>
/usr/bin/mythfrontend<br>
<br>
Starts mythfrontend at boot, and restarts it whenever it quits. Works
well.<br>
