Thanks Matthias :-) All works now. I had VDR_SOFTDEVICE_OPTS=dfb in my make.conf so it built the right support in. Thanks for the tips about reporting bugs - I'll use those tools instead of this forum for Gentoo specific stuff next time. If nothing else the VDR portal should find babelfish translations of bug reports from English into German pretty funny ... Thanks again for all your help - I wish there was some way to send you beer/s electronically !! Regards Anthony.
