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

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

Instead of moving the dfb++ libs I added /usr/local/lib/ to the PATH.
The error is still there though, here is what I get from
/var/log/messages:

Oct 22 03:06:57 linux vdr[21247]: initializing plugin: softdevice

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

What the heck is sonypi.o?
