maybe im doing some things wrong,
i installed the vdr binary over apt(e-tobi)
than i installed the sources with apt and compiled the softdevice
plugin.
I have a Matrox G450, the tv out looks horrible(but works somehow), but
when i found a 5pair multicore cable i will make a RGB one.
Hard to get get the right howtos for my situation.
