Checked 2.6.7-epia : exactly the same.
Versions I have that remains to be checked :
* DirectFB 0.9.21 from CVS 20040805 + epia patch from Stephan Lucke
* DFB++ CVS update 20040805
* plain VDR 1.3.12 unpatched, only softdevice + femon
* softdevice fresh CVS checkout 20040810

What I do to run VDR :
* load FB driver :
	modprobe viafb mode=720x576 bpp=32 refresh=50 TVon=1 TVoverscan=1
* set FB mode according to /etc/fb.modes (needed for 2.6.7, because of 
garbage on the screen just after modprobe, not needed for 2.4.26) :
	fbset -a "720x576-50"
* run VDR :
	vdr --config=/etc/vdr --video=/home/video --lib=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins 
--shutdown='killall vdr; echo ' --plugin='softdevice -vo dfb:' 
--plugin='femon'

Other related config :
* /etc/fb.modes
mode "720x576-50"
    # D: 32.043 MHz, H: 31.049 kHz, V: 49.999 Hz
    geometry 720 576 720 1152 32
    timings 31208 144 40 32 10 128 3
    bcast true
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
* /etc/directfbrc
	fbdev=/dev/fb0
	pixelformat=ARGB
	disable-module=cle266

What is the cause of that fully-transparent OSD ?
