Hi,

I  compiled softdevice with vidix. When I start vdr -Psoftdevice I get 
the tv picture on the console,
and can switch channels with thw remote control. As soon as I press the 
"menu" button,
something goes wrong, I can't anymore switch channels, and I get no OSD, 
the menu doesn't come.
    

But previously OSD came up ? 
  

no, not at all

Whats yout framebuffer depth ?
  

32
fbset -i

Any hint from textual output or from /var/log/messages ?
  

not more then I mentioned

I just tested vidix out with 16bit and 24bit framebuffer on my radeon and
had no problems.

Sometimes while scanning for recordings there are some serious delays.

To redirect the text output you can start vdr like:
clear;./vdr -P streamdev-client -P 'softdevice -vo vidix:' -c /net_data/vdr133-jarada/ -v /net_data/video/ >~/vidix_log 2>&1

instead of 32 MB only 16 are detected, can that be the reason?
How I can I force 32 MB to be used?
