No... this is the new and current CVS form today :) In the last weeks the
dxr3 driver was/is heavily under develoment. The new version 0.l4.0
was released yesterday, i think.


I have now updated with the cvs and patched it:

vdr dxr3-cvs #
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.dxr3.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxr3 -z3 co
em8300
vdr dxr3-cvs # cd em8300/modules
vdr modules # patch < em8300-cvs_hs+nb.patch

Maybe you need to modify the Makefile - i have to do it

vdr modules # make clean
Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

-->
nano Makefile

<<<<<<< Makefile
# Some general variables
MODULE_VERSION="0.13.0.cvs"
=======
MODULE_VERSION="0.15.0.cvs"
# where the kernel sources are located
KERNEL_LOCATION?=/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
>>>>>>> 1.56

should be:

#<<<<<<< Makefile
# Some general variables
#MODULE_VERSION="0.13.0.cvs"
#=======
MODULE_VERSION="0.15.0.cvs"
# where the kernel sources are located
KERNEL_LOCATION?=/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
#>>>>>>> 1.56


And your VDR should run now very good, because there are some nice
improvements to the dxr3 driver.
