One possible option is to create file /etc/X11/xinit.d/runxine with executable permissions: #!/bin/sh [[ "$(id -un)" == "vdruser" ]] && exec xine -L --fullscreen --geometry 720x576 --borderless --hide-gui --no-logo --no-splash vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes The file is run (at least here with Mandriva) when user logs in to X session. -- Anssi Hannula
