<a NAME="s5"></a>5. Questions and Answers</h2>
<ul>
<li>
If configure fails at your system, try deleting config.cache and some of
the options configure --help shows (--prefix=/opt/kde2 and --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt2; according
where the libs are installed at your system)
<li>
If it still complains please check if you can compile other kde2-programs, only then
it's a problem specific to kvdr.
<li>command line option "-x 1" completly disables overlay mode and forces xv-mode on startup
<li>command line option "-d 1" disables modeline switch for xv-mode (desktop resolution used instead)
<li>At some systems the XServer reports the wrong color-bytes-depth in 24 bit Mode (32 bits, overlay
is trashing the screen), in that case please use the commandline-option -b 24 to force the right mode.
(see kvdr --help)
<li>
If kvdr shows only a black screen please check if kvdr uses the correct video device number, if you have
read/write access rights to the device "/dev/video*" and no other application blocks the device.
<li>
If you can't switch channels or vdr is not controllable, please check if no one
else (e.g. telnet or another kvdr) ist connected to vdr and if both use the same port.
(see configuration dialog and vdr-manpage)
</ul>
<h3><a NAME="ss5.1"></a>5.1 Known Bugs</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Under KDE 2.1 the KWM-option "show window content during moving" behaves different
than Version 2.0, leaving the overlay behind. Because other applications
like kwintv and xawtv show the same failure at my system, i assume it's not my fault, maybe even not
a bug at all - it's a feature ;-)
Whether deactivate it or live with it, let's see if newer version compensate for it...
<li>deactivating KDE-Screensaver does not work as they does'nt provide this function
(to my knowledge)
<li>sometimes the mixer-channels in the list are not complete, restarting kvdr helps.
<li>i18n not complete, help appreciated
</ul>
