The s-video and VGA and other outputs on EPIA-M output the exact same image. You can't have the VDR video on one output and the console on another. I think that's a limitation of the board, not of the CLE266. Said otherwise : the s-video + composite chip (VT1622) uses the VGA output and translate the signal type. If you want to first use a CRT, then the TV, you're OK. That's what I did and it works. If you want a console to control the vdr processes, you can either connect to a SSH server on your vdr box (from another PC, that you already have, haven't you ?), or add a second video card inside the box, make it primary, and make it work... > Can I done this with softdevice?

You could use any output method you which, based on other criteria.

Softdevice has no problem to switch from one to another, but other criteria count : start an X server if you use X, thus stop it, get the right authorizations, etc. -- NH
