For softdevice, ty to add following line to your fb.modes file.

mode "768x576-32"
    # D: 30.274 MHz, H: 37.701 kHz, V: 50.001 Hz
    geometry 768 576 768 576 32
    timings 33032 30 5 110 55 48 13
    vsync high
    bcast true
    accel true
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

OR

mode "768x576"
    # D: 30.274 MHz, H: 37.701 kHz, V: 50.001 Hz
    geometry 768 576 768 576 32
    timings 33032 30 5 110 55 48 13
    vsync high
    bcast true
    accel true
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

If that does not function properly be free to play around of the settings.

You can try setting the modes with "fbset 768x576" or "fbset 768x576-32" for
example.

To be sure create a script to run vdr, which set known to work mode after
"./vdr -P..." as your display may be unreadable for other modes.

BTW. How did you compile the softmpeg plugin, I only get vdr:
/usr/local/lib/libsoftmpeg-0.1.so: undefined symbol: avcodec_init while
starting it.
