I have not yet started down the vaapi path yet, (soon), but I believe 
you will need to set your display for 50Hz. See post #2 in this thread:

Keyboard control needs to be specified at compile time - on by default, see
Make.config.template in the source package.

I have never used the keyboard, but I have assumed that when started for 
the first time, you are prompted for which keys you want mapped to which 
vdr function, when using a remote. Maybe this is not the case with the 
keyboard? See the "Remote Control Keys" entry in the command "man 5 vdr".
