Re: [vdr] VDR on Fedora recommended window manager

 1) auto log into 'vdruser'
 2) start xine

 This sounds familiar, and leads to the question: Do your *really* need a
 window manager? Or do you just run xine fullscreen all the time?

 At that point, I've decided to go my own way without login screen and
 without window managers. My runvdr extreme script, latest version, can
 fire up its own X window sesssion and runs VDR within that X session.
 The default runlevel therefor does not start any gdm/kdm/xdm for X and
 login at all, just like a text console only. And if I really need to log
 in, I use the VDR commands menu to switch to a different runlevel where
 VDR is stopped and gdm is started, giving me a normal X login screen.

 You can use the latest runvdr extreme as sample how to do that. Or just
 use it anyway. ;)

Thanks.

I think I've followed the README, but am getting this:

Looks like a couple of problems.  keysym (??) instead of XF86Info needed? 
And  a problem with libvdr-skincurses.so.1.6.0

ls -l /root/vdr-1.6.0/PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-skincurses.so.1.6.0

What am I doing wrong?
