OK : since I'd added "disable-module=keyboard" in "/etc/directfbrc" for 
some reason (maybe related to softmpeg), softdevice didn't receive 
keycodes from the console, but only from the ssh term it was run from.
The only little problem : the first message asks to press any key to 
begin learning : this key must be pressed on the SSH keyboard. Next keys 
to learn must be pressed on the console keyboard...
But all this is really good : I'll be able to connect the CD player 
front-panel keys to a standard keyboard controler, and not worry very 
much about key codes sent by the keys, sonce learning take all this into 
account !

I tested softmpeg, but I still have a strange OSD with it : the screen 
is all-blue, and the video layer only appears when the OSD is shown. The 
OSD is alpha-blended (video is dark below the OSD), but noOSD = no video...

Now please sit down : softmpeg appears to change something in directfb 
that affects softdevice (in another run)...
See the following test (I change /etc/directfbrc and run vdr with either 
softmpeg or softdevice, then stop vdr an re-run with another) :

pixelformat=ARGB
softdevice : OK
softmpeg : video OK + no OSD at all
pixelformat=AiRGB
softmpeg : video only through OSD
pixelformat=ARGB
softdevice : video only through OSD
softmpeg : video OK + no OSD at all

So : softdevice only shows OSD if pixelformat=ARGB AND softmpeg was 
never run with pixelformat=AiRGB. To get back a working softdevice's 
OSD, I need to reboot...
You should talk with Michael Hunold about that : I think there is 
something about pixel format and alpha that you should both get working 
(he has an EPIA M 10000, and says it works)... I can provide as many 
logs as you wish.
