Leo M?rquez a ?crit : > And how know softdevice if has to use the vga cable to crt or the svideo > to a TV? Softdevice doesn't decide : the motherboard does this. Just select CRT + TV on the BIOS. This will activate TV timings for all output, and "just works". WRT DirectFB, you have to use the viafb kernel frame buffer driver from patcher2k or DirectFB CVS (see related recent threads on the softdevice + directfb-users ML). This driver receive a TVon parameter you also have to set to 1. > I have no plan to use X but if I decide change softdevice to xine I > think I will need it. You will then have to use a xine + X enhanced for CLE266 HW decoding (if you really want something more than softdevice from that combination). You could also try the Unichrome X driver from CVS, that have improved TV-out settings, but that's another story... > I'm just have built from source vdr 1.3.24 and try to make softdevice > plugin.

You also need DFB++ (a C++ layer between softdevice and DirectFB). You can use my Debian source package at http://nicolas.huillard.net/vdr/debian/ (download, compile, install) I don't offer a Debian repository, but e-tobi will soon have a working softdevice package... You should really subscribe to the softdevice ML on berlios.de if you're not already. -- NH
