Hi guys
What is the easiest way to get arch to 'startx' on boot even when no display is connected?
I tried
- creating a service following the method shown in this post
- adding hdmi_force_hotplug=1 to /boot/config.txt
but still no dice
To give some background I have got a raspberry pi running runeaudio which is based on Arch. I got some additional functionality out of it by mapping some hotkeys to trigger scripts that set GPIO pins on the rpi high/low. I used xbindkeys for this. It is working perfectly except I have to manually do 'startx'. If I can figure out this last piece my Hifi-setup would be complete.
Bonus question - Is there a way to get xbindkeys like functionality without running x server?
