[linux-dvb] How to use the drivers from 2.5.x kernels?

[Benjamin Forgeau <forgeau@tu-harburg.de>]

	Hi you all,

	I want to try the DVB drivers from 2.5.x kernels. I downloaded the 
kernel 2.5.50, it compiles, no problems at all. I discovered some nice 
ideas in this kernel, like ALSA (not working for now, but that's not 
the point).

	How should we use the drivers??? What is the standard way??

	In the near future, the DVB drivers will be included in the 2.6.x 
kernels. Then DVB will be available out-of-the-box for everybody. Then 
should we just use it like #include<linux/dvb/frontend.h> and so on, 
without more information??

	I tried to replace the directory /usr/include/linux with a link on 
/usr/src/linux-2.5.50/include/linux, and tried to compile VDR, but a 
lot of symbols are defined twice. So it is not the solution. I don't 
want to hack more before I get an idea on the right way to go. Which 
one?

	Another thing, there is no "version.h" in the kernel include files. 
Why?? Will it disappear??

	And what is the status of OSD in the future releases?? There is a 
remark in the help message saying that it may not be supported later.


		thanks for all
