Hello,
just replaced released tar file with vdr-softdevice-0.2.3a, as there were two major bugs with configuring an compiling DirectFB output. Sorry for inconvenience.
For getting fixes within this release, you could just type 'cvs update' within softdevice directory. By this update, you'll stay in the cvs branch created for this release (branch: v023_fix).
