Okay, if it is too much work, i will install GTK. The problem is the
remote control with ssh. I have no keyboard and no monitor connected to
the VDR. What are you dreaming of?

What graphic card do you have? Matrox Millenium G200 Dual Head with TV
out?
I want to buy the same card like you.


I think the playback of recordings are made by the DVB card and send to
the VGA card. Is there a way to playback the recordings directly to the
VGA card?
If you do this, it is a bugfix ;) for the CAM hangup error.
