I'm using VDR 1.3.34 with a VP1020 budget card on a machine with and Nvidia GF 5500 video card. I am using softdevice for a decoder. I currently have X configured for dual display with the VGA being screen 1 and the TV out being screen 2 using Nvidia's twinview. VDR and Softdevice are working well.
My problem is in trying to view the display full screen on the TV-out. If I full screen the display it always goes to screen 1 which is VGA. The only way to view it on the TV-out is in a maximized window. I can't start it that way and I have to drag the window and maximize every time I start VDR. Does anyone know of a way around this?

Is that a true 2 screen setup ? That is: on screen 1 your DISPLAY variable is :0.0 and on screen 2 it is :0.1 . Or is it more Xienerama setup ?
I did a test with my matrox. When I set DISPLAY to :0.1 , vdr softdevice was shown on the other screen but no video :-( , when toggleing fullscreen the window stayed on that screen. With DISPLAY :0.0 I got video, and fullscreen toggle works as expected (fullscreen on :0.0).
It's not a true multiple display setup. This is a xinerama type setup using twinview. It is possible to do this with Xine-ui.

My config is very similar. Is your setup twinview or is it set as two separate displays (0.0 and 0.1?).
It should be set as two separate displays -- then start VDR like this:
DISPLAY=:0.1;xset s off;/data/src/vdr/vdr -P"softdevice -ao alsa:plughw:1,0 -vo xv:full" -Pfemon -Pyaepg
I have two audio cards as well, thats why I specify the audio device here too.
Hope it helps.

I've got a report in mind where such a setup is working with xine-ui.
Bye.
