Hello Holger !

Thank you for the fast reply!

I have some question:

The old "pinnacle experimental" driver is need for this driver to work?

I need load the "v4l" module when starting the Xfree86  (in the 
XF86config file) or enhought by the ./insmod load command?

This driver how to work with VDR? I remember the old vdr not work, 
because i not have a dvd decoder chip on the pinnacle card. For this 
problem currently avalible an or other solution?

The video in port is working with this driver?

Thank you
