I can't manage to do that. If I try to run vdr as user root, vdr-kbd complains to refuse to run with root priviledges. If I do "su vdr" whoami tells me to be still root - is that what you meant by "sux"? Because I don't know sux, and nothing like this is installed. I tried: root@linux:/usr/lib/vdr# DISPLAY=:0.0;xset s off;vdr-daemon --config=/var/lib/vdr --lib=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins -d ib/vdr/plugins -vo xv:" -u vdr -g vdr Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key xset: unable to open display ":0.0" as mentioned in the link you provided at the end of your posting. BTW, is "-vo xv:" right for me? I couldn't find anything about XvMC, or should I better use xv with my graca, which uses v4l if I'm not completly wrong? ... > If you want to use vdr as a frontend / desktop application you don't Glad to here that, so I didn't understand everything wrong ;-) That's exactly what I intend to do. >>I'd like to use softdevice with a Geforce 6600 and TV-Out, if this could >>be better please tell me. >> >>In vdr-wiki is also written that softdevice does replace the >>mpeg2-decoder and outputs directly on a framebuffer, output could then >>be on a monitor or tv-out (for that part streamdev is needed?) > > > Streamdev if only needed for transferring the dvb data from one vdr to another. > > Maybe that is of some help: > http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2005-October/005510.html So I think my main problem is exporting the display right. For the time being I've only one display, no tv-out, which I would experiment with later on, when the rest is running. But I'm not used to exporting displays and don't know how to manage it for the user vdr - do you still have the patience helping me again? Andr?
