I have installed yavdr 0.2 ,but I am not able to start XBMC.
I have Radeon HD4200 and XBMC complains that I need HW accelerated GPU.
When I tested my graphics card with XBMC-PVR on mythbuntu 10.4 it worked well.
What am I missing ?

yaVDR is designed and optimized for Nvidia VDPAU (as stated on our website). We don't make any effort to support non-Nvidia cards at the moment. ATI driver packages are not part of the yaVDR ISO image. Some users who are determined to use yaVDR with ATI cards install the ATI drivers manually via package update after the installation. But nobody of the yaVDR developers uses an ATI card so we don't and can't give any support.
Cheers,

I understand that and appreciate your fast reply, I was just wondering if anyone has a clue what package I am missing. I have tried to compare between yavdr (excellent work BTW - I love the way of your thinking , turning your PC into an appliance) and mythbuntu but could not get into a certain conclusion of what is missing or not installed properly.
Thanks for your reply Hepi and keep up the good work. My next PCs will be ION based so it should work smoothly there.

I'm using the right kernel, but am I to install some additional software during the installation of Lucid Minimal?

The grep dvb didn't show anything at all, so i guess my dvb-t stick wasn't recognized.
I tried to follow the link om kernellabs.com, and success...my stick was recognized :-)
Next step is to follow your guide in a minimal setup, but kernellabs.com is down, so i'll have to wait before i can install the drivers for the stick again :-(
I'll keep posting my experiences as my "journey" continues, and thx again for helping - guess i'll have to donate a beer sometime :-)
