You can compile the "dvb-kernel" driver for 2.4 easily. Have a look at 
the "build-2.4" directory, it will compile the "dvb-kernel" against your 
currently installed 2.4 kernel.

Yes. 2.5 is v4l2, 2.4 is v4l. For the "dvb-kernel" driver to work under 
2.4, I backported the 2.5 video4linux-2 driver. Everything needed to run 
the driver is present in "build-2.4".

As I have written in the docs, you should make sure that no 
video4linux-1 "videodev.o" module is lying around in /lib/modules, this 
will badly interfere with the driver.

Trust me, it's not there yet. 8-)

I commited some more fixes yesterday, the picture is as good as it can 
get now.

That's strange. I simply pass the value from the video4linux-2 tune 
i/o-control to the tuner, there is no additional logic. Are you sure you 
have selected the correct frequency-table within xawtv?
