[mythtv-users] Autostart irxevent and mythfrontend?

[Eni Gma]

Try setting the display in the script that you use to start these 
programs.  If you are starting them on boot they won't know what display 
to use.  Try putting

export DISPLAY=localhost:0

at the beginning of the script you are using to start the programs.
