I did as you suggested, compiled libsdl1.2debian etc. Freevo started now without an error but I still got no picture on the tv. The screen changed from black to a light blue when I started freevo but I got no menu etc. Now comes the strange part: I purged the freevo package and reinstalled it, copied my local_config.py and lircrc back to the /etc/freevo directory. Now it works. Magic... Thanks you for pointing me in the right directon! :) Cheers, - Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
