I should be using those no-vt* options shouldn't I, if I'm just after
vdr output to the 2nd head and won't be using the first? Sorry for
this directfb related question..

Something strange happened when I tried this script, first of all with
it copied verbatim, vdr loads as normal but there is only a black
screen. I then tried commenting out lines such as the powersave one,
and the "clear" line, however even after removing ALL the lines until
it was only a exact copy of my vdr command line, there was still
nothing but a black screen.
I figure this must be to do with permissions or what not, however I
ran the command on the console directly with the same user and it
worked fine, exact same command in an executable shell script and
nothing appears.

So is that to be expected, the video appearing on the first head?
