Maybe it has no rights to open X window. Do you see any errors in log ?
Do you start it from X terminal ?
Some things to try:
- run "xhost +si:localuser:vdr" or "xhost +" before starting vdr
(note that this opens a security hole)
- try starting without su
(as current user, or with vdr option --user=vdr)
