Where did you try to point to?
I have only a non-propotinal font.

That is what i am asking ;-)

I always got that string and thought that it contains a hint to
the firmware release actually loaded.

Some older log entries:
Dec  1 11:50:39 msi kernel: DVB: AV7111(0) - firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018,vid 71010068, app 8000261c

Yep. that's the other problem ;-)

How can i make sure that it loading the right?
Is there somethin in "/etc/" or so where that is configured?

Too there seems to be too king of "firmwares"
One in dvb-ttpci-01.fw and one in "Dpram+root"
How do i know which one is used?
Why are there two kind of files?
Is one only for "historical reasons"?
Which one is obsolete?



I have a quite old system with tons of old stuff
from serval experiments.
Of course i could delete/rename the old files (as i already did),
but that's not the way to corrupt all the other installation to
make sure the right firmware/driver version is loaded;-)
lsmod just lists the module names, but does not have a 
"verbose" flag to show where the drivers where -actually- loaded from, or?
