I needed to change lirc defaults in lirc.c (REPEATLIMIT 10, REPEATDELAY 600, KEYPRESSDELAY 150) in vdr source code. I just installed vdr 1.4.0 from ebuild and changing source code before compile is a little bit more complicated than when installing from plain source.
First get the ebuild source and unpack:
# ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vdr/vdr-1.4.0.ebuild fetch
# ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vdr/vdr-1.4.0.ebuild unpack
(will be unpacked to /var/tmp/portage/vdr-1.4.0)
Change what you want in /var/tmp/portage/vdr-1.4.0/work/ and compile, install and merge:
# ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vdr/vdr-1.4.0.ebuild compile
# ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vdr/vdr-1.4.0.ebuild install
# ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/vdr/vdr-1.4.0.ebuild qmerge
That’s it.
