[vdr] softdevice + directfb gives black screen

[Per Mellander]

EPIA system with kernel 2.4.25 + epia2 patch
DirectFB-0.9.22
ffmpeg-0.4.8
DFB++-0.9.22
vdr-1.3.30
softdevice-CVS ( 20050823 )
alsa-1.0.9

One installation is based on a stripped down RH9 with gcc 3.2.2 20030222 
(RedHat). The other is a Core Linux install with gcc 3.2.

I have used the exact same software packages for both installations.

viafb is loaded without any parameters ( modprobe viafb )

On the RedHat installation I can run vdr -P"softdevice -vo dfb:" and I get a 
picture on my TFT. Then I reboot with the Core Linux install and I only get a 
black screen after starting vdr. I have the same directfbrc, the same 
fb.modes but I just can't get it to work on the Core Linux system. The output 
log is attached.

When vdr is running ( with a black screen ) I get the following:

# fbset -i

mode "800x600-96"
    # D: 36.000 MHz, H: 33.834 kHz, V: 96.394 Hz
    geometry 800 600 800 1200 32
    timings 27778 56 80 79 11 128 12
    hsync high
    vsync high
    laced true
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : Via CLE266
    Address     : 0xd8000000
    Size        : 33554432
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : TRUECOLOR
    XPanStep    : 0
    YPanStep    : 1
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 3200
    MMIO Address: 0xdc000000
    MMIO Size   : 16777216
    Accelerator : Unknown (77)

The only difference as I see it is the compiler ( 3.2.2-redhat versus 3.2 ).

Any clues?
