I've got vdr installed according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vdr-guide.xml with lib-xine as a frontend. I've also got a working dvb config which I can tell from the fact that everything works in Kaffeine. Now, what I see running vdr-sxfe xvdr://localhost is just a black screen with a 'No Signal' message. No evidence of onscreen menu whatsoever. vdr won't react to keyboard keys pressed and 'Switch to your output screen and follow the on-screen instructions.' is not a valid instruction as there's no menu. Here's vdr-related part of /var/log/messages ---- Jul 25 19:18:10 localhost vdr: [16148] VDR version 1.6.0-1 started Jul 25 19:18:10 localhost vdr: [16148] switched to user 'vdr' Jul 25 19:18:10
