Hello

I'm making some kind of embedded vdr distribution based on busybox and minimal X11, the problem is I have no idea of how I can launch vdr and xineliboutput at startup.

For now, I'm doing manually : # xinit /usr/bin/rxvt then type : # vdr -Pxineliboutput

I tried to type directly : # xinit /usr/local/bin/vdr -Pxineliboutput but vdr just displays its logo, with no error in /var/log/messages though.

I can still launch vdr with : # xinit /usr/bin/rxvt -e /usr/local/bin/vdr -Pxineliboutput but it's not very elegant.

What's the trick ?

You don't need to start vdr inside X , you start vdr in the background (whatever your init system is). With X you need to start vdr-sxfe .
