There is a setting in /etc/vdr/setup.conf 
(Xineliboutput.VideomodeSwitching = 1), but in Gentoo that file gets 
overwritten every time VDR starts. I have not yet found a way to modify 
that file except with the vdr-setup plugin, but it does not allow me to 
change all the variables that are in the file.
