Where is this specified? Once starting vdr or else?

I don't think there's anything wrong with my modelines, since every
other directfb app works. But I use:

mode "720x576@32"
    geometry 720 576 720 576 32
    timings 34404 24 0 82 63 48 13
    vsync high
    bcast true
    accel true
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

Oh, this might be the issue, this is what I'm using, ie. tv connected to
2nd head via s-video cable. So it isn't supported?
