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
