vdr-plugin-softdevice package for debian?

Hi Tobias,

what I completly forgot in my previos mail is that a line like

cSoftDevice::MakePrimaryDevice

is missing in the output. So probably the softdevice is not the primary 
device in your setup. Do you have any FF-cards in your box and if yes, 
did you set the primary device to the last device?

That is strange, ATI cards usually have Directcolor FBs and sofdevice 
reports to have found a Truecolor FB. I guess the card is a Mach64? What 
does fbset -i tell? Did you try to use a 15 bit mode? In this mode my 
Mach64 card works.

Unfortunatly Mach64 cards are not very well supported by DirectFB and X 
(I think you will need an Xserver from the gatos project to get Xv). My 
card runs reliably only with Vidix (which doesn't seem to be included in 
Debian at all, an is not well maintained in the softdevice) and very 
slow in plain fb-mode.
Do you have by chance a different graphics card available?
