Start a program in fullscreen X session
If you like to start a single program, e.g. mythfrontend on another screen - e.g. a TV or a second monitor, simple use the next line:
xinit /bin/sh -c "DISPLAY=:1 mythfrontend" -- /usr/bin/X :1 -ac
And from HowTo Setup MythTV
[...] I have this first script run at boot up time:
#!/bin/bash cd /root HOME='/root' export HOME xinit /root/xinitmyth -- :0 &
and the startup file /root/xinitmyth
xsetroot -solid gray & mythfrontend

Modline generator
GTF is a modline generator.
linux:> gtf usage: gtf x y refresh [-v|--verbose] [-f|--fbmode] [-x|--xorgmode]
x : the desired horizontal resolution (required)
y : the desired vertical resolution (required)
refresh : the desired refresh rate (required)
-v|--verbose : enable verbose printouts (traces each step of the computation)
-f|--fbmode : output an fbset(8)-style mode description
-x|--xorgmode : output an Xorg-style mode description (this is the default
if no mode description is requested)
