+To configure your VDR settings in kmplayer, see the Configure \
panel->Source->VDR->XVideo port panel. There should be ports detected, from which you \
should select one. You have to figure out what encoding you should use (eg. for \
western europe, that is PAL) and likely the correct one has a name with \
<quote>dvb</quote> in it. +</para>
+<para>
+ For instance, I have a TV card, a DVB-S card and a webcam pluged into my system. \
With these, my settings are that there are three Ports. The first one has a long list \
of NTSC(-JP)/PAL(-M)/SECAM entries all saying something about \
television/composite/svideo (my TV card). The second one has \
NTSC-dvb/PAL-dvb/SECAM-dvb (my DVB-S card). And finally the third has only ntsc/pal \
(probably my webcam). I should therefore configure (just select it) the second port \
and second entry (PAL-dvb).  +</para>
+<para>
+ Because VDR support from kmplayer can only use XVideo, of course XVideo should work \
(and I believe for video devices, this way of viewing only works on linux). Also this \
only works on your first display (:0.0). So make sure <quote>videoforlinux</quote> \
extension works with the X server. For the XFree86 server, therefor in its \
configuration (<filename>/etc/X11/XF86Config</filename>) it should have \

+ Unfortunately, when ever you update your video driver, you have to reconfigure this \
setting.  +</para>
