[vdr] softdevice with xv-plugin does not start

[Andre Bischof]

Hello,

I'm trying to get softdevice working. Compilation went well 
(vdr-1-3-31), but starting

vdr-daemon --config=/var/lib/vdr --lib=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins -d -l 3 -p 
2001 --video=/video -w 60 -u vdr -g vdr -P remote -P "softdevice -L 
/usr/lib/vdr/plugins -vo xv:"

gives me:

X-server
Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: [softdevice] videoOut failure exiting

I put LoadModule "XvMC" in xorg.conf as mentioned in the plugin's 
README, and libxvmc1 and libxvmc-dev are installed.

I guess it could be that I have to put up an additional screen-section 
in xorg.conf, but I'm not really familiar with that. Or does that error 
derive from s.th. totally different?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
