Hi,

I'm on the way to make my 2nd vdr productive with softdevice and dfb mgatv 
output.

There are/were some issues:

1. I had to modify the ebuild file by hand, as the default
   vdr-softdevice-0.3.0-r1.ebuild would disable directfb support if derectfb
   is not in USE flags. By this softdevice configure can detect my already 
installed
   DirectFB/DFB++ versions. Those from cvs 2006-11-05 are more suitable then
   those which would be pulled in otherwise:DirectFB-0.9.25.1 / DFB++-0.9.23 .

   After modifying ebuild I had to run:
     ebuild  vdr-softdevice-0.3.0-r1.ebuild digest

2. For ALSA audio access I had to add user vdr to group audio

3. For running vdr as user "vdr" and having directfb input work via 
   linux-input I had to modify udev rules:
     # lucke: changed input event* settings
     #KERNEL=="event*",      NAME="input/%k", MODE="0600"
     KERNEL=="event*",       NAME="input/%k", GROUP="video", MODE="0660"
   Current /etc/directfbrc looks like the following:
   -- cut --
     mode=720x576
     depth = 32
     matrox-crtc2
     matrox-tv-standard=pal
     primary-layer=2
     pixelformat=ARGB
     matrox-cable-type=scart-rgb
     disable-module=lirc
     no-vt
     no-vt-switch
   -- cut --

4. Shutdown (vdr power off) is still not working.
