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)
