First create: /tmp/goXvesa
---------------------------------------------------
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
Xvesa -terminate -screen 800x600x15 &
sleep 1
DISPLAY=:0 mgp /usr/share/mgp/lesson4.mgp
---------------------------------------------------

Then edit: /etc/inittab
-------------------------------------
tty1::respawn:/bin/sh -c /tmp/goXvesa
-------------------------------------
Leave other lines untouched.

If you want, you can put a menu in goXvesa
to select which lesson.mgp to display. The
respawn will then return to the menu after
each presentation, allowing you to select
a new one.

Cheers,
Steven
