[linux-dvb] /dev/vbi for EPG

[Tobias.Stoetter@btignite.de]

Hi,

i am using a slakware (2.2.16) box with 2 siemens cards installed, DBV 0.8.2 and
VDR 0.7.2. Slakware does not install any video device by default, so it took me
a while to find out that:
mknod -m 0666 /dev/video0 c 81 0 is my friend.
After some trials and accidents i additionally found out that:
mknod -m 0666 /dev/video1 c 81 1 sets up the second device. Is that correct?
Anyway, it works so that i can use time shift now, but i recognised that the EPG
does not work. In an article in the german c`t magazine i read that the VDR EPG
requires the device /dev/vbi. I tried for hours to find out how to install that
device but in the end i had to give up. Can anyone give me a hint what the
parameters are to build that bloody device. I swear that i will write a small
dummy faq with all my experiences about building the required devices manually
if i finally will manage to bring it all up working.

Thanx in advance,
Tobias
