The entry for major 250 was: vdsp. I don't know the function.

I changed DVB_MAJOR to 212 and compiled my modules. Now the firmware
loads fine. Thank you.

But now I got the next problem: which frontend is the right one?
I tried ves1x93, cx24110, mt312, stv0299; but every time vdr-kbd didn't
recognize the frontend.

Here my syslog:

What can I do to find the right frontend?
Thanks.
