I'm running vdr 1.3.12 on kernel 2.6.7 (from kernel.org)
There are only two things to do:
1. enable the DVB driver _and_ the OSD support in the kernel
2. download the right firmware for your card and save it in the right
~ location on your harddrive (or compile it into the driver)
That's all and it works fine ...

Hi,
I'm no developer but I use Linux 2.6 all the time. 2.4 was working, too,
but I had a lot of good arguments to settle with 2.6. One of the best is
cd/dvd burning.
At the moment it is Kernel 2.6.8.1 (gentoo-dev-sources) and VDR 1.3.12
(for quite some time now). VDR is mostly vanilla, I applied a patch to
dvbdevice.c in order to prevent VDR from hanging when zapping channels
(http://vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=20248).
The whole thing is prime stable. And I must say that I totally like the
kernel driver, I even got this weired feeling that the tuner is much
"cooler" then with the drivers from 08.11.2003 (Kernel 2.4). It gets
only lukewarm.
Admittedly I also have compiled glibc with the matching 2.6.8.1 kernel
headers before I compiled VDR and its plugins so you might not want to
call it an easy transition. Even my parents got VDR and kernel 2.6. I
don't exactly remember what versions but it must be working great,
because they haven't called for quite some time now, well, regarding VDR
of course ;)
Thanks for all your work!
Sebastian
