New subject: preferred way of running xineliboutput with output to a?dedicated screen?

      ...
From what I've read on
http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Xineliboutput-plugin,
xineliboutput can output video directly via framebuffer, does this
mean that X.org is of no use?
I've tried starting 'vdr-sxfe --video=fb ...' (or DirectFB) but it
keeps telling it can't connect to X server.
What would you suggest when running xineliboutput on a vdr box with
the only output via hdmi?
TIA.
