<a NAME="s2"></a>2. Installation</h2>

<h3>
<a NAME="ss2.1"></a>2.1 How to obtain Kvdr</h3>
You can always download the actual version <a href="http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala/index.html">here</a>.
<h3>
<a NAME="ss2.2"></a>2.2 Requirements</h3>

<ul>
<li>
You need at least one DVB-Card, the DVB-driver, the VDR-package and Kde.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
For fullscreen-switching have a 800x600 modeline in your XF86Config file,
for NTSC a 640x480 one. (The first one found is automatically choosed,
should have the frequency of your choice).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
To get sound handling working get and install alsa (amixer).</li>
</ul>

<h3>
<a NAME="ss2.3"></a>2.3 Compilation and installation</h3>
In order to compile and install Kvdr on your system, type the following
in the base directory of the Kvdr distribution:
<blockquote>
<pre><tt>% ./configure
% make
% make install</tt></pre>
</blockquote>
Since Kvdr uses
<pre>autoconf</pre>
you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems
please report them to the the author at <a href="mailto:gfiala (at) s (dot) netic (dot) de">Guido</a>
<br>&nbsp;
<h3>
<a NAME="ss2.3"></a>2.4 Installation details</h3>

<p><br>First, get the latest dvb-driver and install it. (of course ;-)
<br>Compile vdr (make REMOTE=LIRC) and copy the channels.conf, timers.conf
and keys.conf in the VideoDirectory you may use.
<p>The rest is the ordinary "./configure; make; make install;"
<br>process.
<p>(just tested at a Suse6.4-Linux at Intel-P2-hardware, no idea what will
happen elsewhere...)
<p><b>For a quick test, you can now simply start the vdr-daemon in a terminal
(of course you have to load the dvb-drivers first and launch kvdr.</b>
<p>cd DVB/driver
<br>make insmod
<br>cd VDR
<br>./vdr -v VideoDirectory -d
<br>kvdr
<p><b>For a sophisticated installation follow the vdr manual.</b>

<h3>2.5 WARNING</h3>
Because of the open SVDRP port you should not run vdr in an open environment
(suggest using a firewall). Also, because the DVB-card does directly write
to physical grafics memory it can possibly crash your x-Server or your
entire System if the frame buffer address is incorrectly specified or reported
by the X-server's DGA extension (this is applicable for all overlay displaying
cards).
