[vdr] Re: Strange OSD Problem

["Sebastian Herp" <newsletter@scytheman.net>]

And nobody believed me that i have such problems, too :-)

On my vdr-computer it doesn't happen after a certain time. There is no
"rule" for this effect or at least i was not able to reproduce it, but it
happens sometimes (very often while starting a record of the actual channel
via "menu->red button").

vdr seems to restart (watchdog perhaps) and then the OSD colours are mixed
up. Only a driver restart with "/usr/src/DVB/driver/make reload" helps to
get rid of these strange colours.

my system:
suse 7.0 (kernel 2.4.4 from kernel.org)
siemens-dvb-0.9.4 (it happened since i've got my vdr running on linux, so
the firmware-version is kind of irrelevant)
vdr-1.0.0pre3 (same applies here ... )
tt-dvb-s version unknown ... but i bought it september 2000 (should be some
of the earlier revisions *g*)

Greetings,
Sebastian

PS.: it might be a hardware-problem, but then again, why are it the colours
of the OSD that are affected by that problem? ...
