Quoting Norm Dressler norm@dressler.ca:

Hi again,

I thought it was all working great-- on the computer, I fire up vdr, use the menus etc., no problem -- everything displays great.

I then redirect the output of the video to the second display in full screen, and my audio to my second sound card. When I try to pull up the menu or any OSD, the OSD portion flashes very quickly. Any suggestions?

Whats your DISPLAY variable set to ? Whats your graphic card ?

Please show us the messages written to stdout/stderr AND those written to syslog.

I have to say I did no test in a dual head enviroment.

But a flickering OSD is a hint that video is displayed via textures. Can you try to set OSD drawing method to "software" ? Either via OSD or by changing vdr's setup.conf line from: OSDalphablend = 0 to OSDalphablend = 1

Did I miss something?

/data/src/vdr/vdr -P"softdevice -ao alsa:plughw:1,0 -vo xv:full" -Pfemon -Pyaepg

I can't catch anything in the output screen to see if it's generating an error or not...
