Well,since you are seeing the same thing with my xorg.conf that
eliminates your xorg setup. With myth not there I can click my mouse
on the tv and launch a program. We need to get your system to that
state and the rest will follow. What is your distro? I am using
mythbuntu 8.04. There must be some huge difference. We just need to
find it.
