Post subject:  Adding commands before frontend starts
I'd like to add a couple of commands to the startup sequence. Once gdm is up and running, but just before firing up the frontend. Namely, I'd like to add the commands to load nvidia-settings and xvattr to turn off the blue edges.

Any ideas?

Put them in ~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps. Mine looks like this:
Code:
[startup] {xset -dpms s off}
[startup] {nvidia-settings -load-config-only}
[startup] {xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0}
[startup] {KnoppMyth-run}
[startup] {launch_irx.sh}
[app] (SDL_App)
  [Layer]       {2}
  [Deco]        {NONE}
[end]

vi ~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
You may want to make a backup of the file before hand...

Sorted.. thanks guys. Used nano as it's a little more idiot-friendly than vi :)

I need to use setpci to up the latency of the hard drives to eliminate some skipping problems, as detailed here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_Latency
That works fine.

But I need to keep it there after a reboot. Using the above method apparently doesn't work because I'm adding it as the mythtv user. How can I add this as root, so it stays there after reboot?

TIA,
Dan

You can put it at the end of /etc./init.d/bootmisc.sh
