Hm, there was a stv0297 pdf on the net, but I can't find it now. Maybe
someone still has it and can send it to you.

Yes, please. Problem #2 can be solved. :)

Please try the dvb-kernel source tree.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv -z3 co -P
dvb-kernel

There all pointer casts should be corrected to be of type long.
Unfortunately dvb-kernel will probably require you to update your kernel
to >= 2.4.20. Build instructions are included.
