[vdr] Re: VGA output, what is the best solution?

["Mattias Viberg" <c01mvg@cs.umu.se>]

I decided to give the DFB a try, installed latest CVS of DirectFB and
DFB++, recompiled softdevice with dfb checked only, and tried to start
vdr. First I got a message that said that the dfb++ libs where missing
but after moving them from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib it worked.
However, on vdr startup this happends:

linux:~/VDR # ./vdr -P"softdevice -vo dfb:"
[softdevice] processing args
[softdevice]   argv [0] = softdevice
[softdevice]   argv [1] = -vo
