Maybe it has no rights to open X window. Do you see any errors in log ?

Do you start it from X terminal ?

Some things to try:
- run "xhost +si:localuser:vdr" or "xhost +" before starting vdr
  (note that this opens a security hole)
- try starting without su
  (as current user, or with vdr option --user=vdr)
