Take a look at ldm and make sure you are using the right options for the
modules. For example, I have to load the adv717x module with the option
pixelport_16bit=0, ie. modprobe adv717x pixelport_16bit=0. Read the
documentation for the options for the modules.

Before starting VDR you can try that the dxr3 card is working properly
by writing an MPEG2 video stream to /dev/em8300_mv-0 (or the devfs
corresponding file if you are using devfs). Note, this has to be a video
stream, not e.g. an MPEG2 movie with audio etc. If you don't have such a
stream get one from
http://www.mpeg2.de/video/streams/tek.htm, e.g.
ftp://ftp.tek.com/tv/test/streams/Element/MPEG-Video/525/bbc3_040.m2v.
Then do,

cat bbc3_040.m2v > /dev/em8300_mv-0

You should now see video on your screen connected to the S-video of
the card.

Hope this helps,
Björn
