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)
This gives me e.g.
linux: > gtf 768 576 50 -x # 768x576 @ 50.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.65 kHz; pclk: 28.46 MHz Modeline "768x576_50.00" 28.46 768 784 864 960 576 577 580 593 -HSync +Vsync
for a modline used with a HTPC (Home theatre PC).
Remember to use it you have to add the following in the Monitor' section of yur xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor" UseModes "MyModes" [...] End Section
If not already there you have to create a Modes section:
Section "Modes" Identifier "MyModes" Modeline "768x576_50.00" 28.46 768 784 864 960 576 577 580 593 -HSync +Vsync [...] End Section
And according to the fact, that the default depth will be 16 in our example here you schould add the new created mode in front of the other modes.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
[...]
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "768x576_50.00" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection:
