I'm still having trouble getting this all working. I used http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=818661 to get me through the setup, without avail. --opengl-all doesn't seem to be a valid option? Or I can't find anything about it. --hud works however. Firstly, what I did manage to get working. Starting from a bare terminal: X & DISPLAY=:0.0 matchbox-window-manager & (matchbox has a built in composite manager, making xcompmgr redundant) DISPLAY=:0.0 xsetroot -cursor emptycursor emptycursor & vdr-sxfe --verbose xvdr://127.0.0.1 --video=xv --audio=alsa --aspect=16:9 --lirc --fullscreen --hud 2>> ~/output.log This works, with the only exception that the OSD is a small and only in the left quarter of the screen. Acceptable even I suppose, though ideally a centered OSD would be nice. I read on the forum topic that others had the same problem, but never clearly found a solution. So I then decided to move this to my .xinitrc; matchbox-window-manager & vdr-sxfe --verbose xvdr://127.0.0.1 --video=xv --audio=alsa --aspect=16:9 --lirc --fullscreen --hud 2>> ~/output.log (I have tried it with and without xcompmgr inbetween/before there too, doesn't matter) Now, the X server starts, matchbox starts, vdr-sxfe seems to start without error, but I only get a black screen. No sound, no response to input. adding aterm -e infront of vdr-sxfe makes vdr-sxfe start normally again, but not in an opengl window. changing my .bashrc to load as from the bare terminal (e.g. just start X &). I tried several plenty of other combinations, but I just can't get it to work :S would have been loads easier if vdr-sxfe would simply act as the most minimalistic window manager by itself and create the hud window itself. Anybody got any idea's where to take it from here?
