Ahh just had to too, don't remember the exact steps, it happened when 
compiling xine from konstruct for a kde beta2.

basically the problem is that <linux/time.h> is included, but a userspace app 
should never include linux headers directly, rather <sys/time.h>.
The problem here however is that the linux header is included by videodev.h, 
you have to replace that with <sys/time.h>, and i think there is another 
problem there but I did get around it eventually, if you're having lots of 
problems still i will try to compile VDR on this 2.6.0 later and see if I 
remember how to get around it :-)

Cheers,
Dennis
