Nope. I think about how vdr could be saned packaged and well integrated 
in a normal distro. This means as less compiling as possible. With 
REMOTE=LIRC you will 'get everytime an error on startup. With no input 
method compiled in and using the plugin to have it configurable , it 
sounds to me to be a very nice solution.

I'm from Mecklenburg, we are allways a bit behind here ;) 
  I currently switch very often between mandrake developer version and 
stable and i had some problems on Cooker (the developer version) there 
i tried suspend to disk. Funny enough suspend to disk even saved the 
time i had it last time running. Should be Ok now i guess.
