How can I handle a second layout independent of the console (vt)

[Alain]

Hello

I have a second layout for my Television, which I do not like to be connected to the console.

I have Fedora Core 5 which starts GDM via inittab
root      2878     1  0 14:39 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon (also tried with -noconsole)
root      2899  2878  0 14:39 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon
root      2966  2899  0 14:39 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon

>From here a session-login is started
root      2974  2966  0 14:39 tty7     00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
gdm       3064  2966  1 14:40 ?        00:00:01 /usr/libexec/gdmgreeter

The Television layout which I use for Myth gets started from rc.d:
root      2867     1  0 14:39 ?        00:00:00 su - mythtv -c /usr/bin/xinit /usr1/mythtv/.mythtv/mythfrontend_start_mythtv.sh -- /usr/bin/Xorg :11 -verbose 10 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:11.Xauth -nolisten tcp -dpi 100 -s 0 -dpms -layout Television
mythtv    2912  2867  0 14:39 ?        00:00:00 -bash -c /usr/bin/xinit /usr1/mythtv/.mythtv/mythfrontend_start_mythtv.sh -- /usr/bin/Xorg :11 -verbose 10 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:11.Xauth -nolisten tcp -dpi 100 -s 0 -dpms -layout Television
root      2976  2975  1 14:39 tty3     00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xorg :11 -verbose 10 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:11.Xauth -nolisten tcp -dpi 100 -s 0 -dpms -layout Television
mythtv    2992  2987  8 14:39 ?        00:00:03 /usr/bin/mythfrontend -l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log

The mythfrontend application gets blocked when the Session on the console starts. I need to press Alt+Ctl+F3 to activate mythfrontend. As soon as change to vt7 mythfrontend gets blocked again.

Trying with void drivers for the mouse and keyboard didn't help. Using the DontVTSwitch (in layout or serverflags) is also if no help.
I did extensive reading but didn't find a solution.

How can I operate Mythfrontend independent of the console sessions ?
Is there another list I can ask for help ?

Thanks
Alain
