Last week arrived to me new hard disk I ordered so I reinstalled  my os.

My goal is to have a updated linux system which let me see vdr throw xineliboutput or xine.
I have a Skystar 1 and a Hauppauge HVR4000.

I did many tests without any success:
- Debian Sid 64    (problem with alsa and remote)
- Archlinux 64      (problem with remote and no image throw xineliboutput)
- Sidux 32            (problem with remote and no image throw xineliboutput)

I tried vdr version 1.7.0 and 1.7.7 with s2api driver.

I think my main problem is evdev and xorg: evdev let every device under /dev/input/event* input in X: this mean that remote controlled by HVR4000's ir can input directly to X.

Someone knows how to tell evdev to skip a particular /dev/input/event* ?
or how to disable evdev?

Hi Fabio,
most of the VDR italian community guys, like me, are using Arch Linux since it's simple, light and stable (just KISS).

I use it only the terminal to control it (local keyboard or SSH) and the output is going out from the integrated connector in my SS1 to the TV.

If you are italian and wanna more support you can join us on http://vdr-italia.phpbb24.com/forum/portal.php or just follow the guide related edev and the plugin remote on my wiki:

Hope this can help you,
Bye
