Re: Re: [misterhouse-users] Automatically running MisterHouse on startup with Linux

[Mark R. <mar...@gm...>]

I really like the VNC idea.  I am having two problems with it.  One is
that my startmh script isn't running automatically for some reason. 
For testing purposes, I connected to the VNC server and ran the script
manually.  The bigger problem is that Xmms needs access to /dev/dsp
and /dev/mixer, but these two files are not accessible to my
MisterHouse user.  I changed the permissions and it worked until I
rebooted and my permission changes were undone.

Sean, I am wondering what the permissions are for your /dev/dsp and
/dev/mixer.  Is it possible that your Xmms is configured to output the
sound to a different driver than the one that mine uses?  Thanks.
