[vdr] Re: Strange OSD Problem

[Armin Schindler <mac@melware.de>]

Hi,

I had the same problem some time ago. I used a
AMD Athlon 1.1 GHz (don't know the board). After
I switched VDR/DVB to my old Pentium 120Mhz board
as "embedded" Device with NFS-Root and etherboot
(no harddisk), the problem is gone.
I think it's related to Powermanagement, but I cannot
tell for sure.
