Hi all,
I finally got mythtv working on my monitor (woo hoo!) but when I moved the
computer back to the entertainment center (no monitor) X will not start. I
guess I must edit my XF86Config file but I have no idea what to enter and
what lines to edit. Help!
Here is the output when I try startx (note: all of this works when the PC
is plugged into a regular monitor, and this used to work fine with Windows
XP with no monitor attached)
