[linux-dvb] Re: [vdr] Patches for VDR/DVB-Driver on SuSE 8.0

The inability of the current stable driver packages to compile and run on a
out of the box SuSE 8.0 kernel. There were troubles with a missing
"kmap_pagetable" symbol which is fixed by the include.
As Klaus Schmidinger told me the problem was solved in the CVS version of the
driver before. Newer driver versions (> 0.9.4-20020520) will include
highmem.h without any dependencies, I decided to add the #ifdef so the
highmem.h was only included on SuSE 8.0 systems (and so not to touch the other
running systems).

Probably you used the CVS driver or compiled your own kernel (even from the
SuSE sources which are different from the standard kernel).

The driver will compile very well, you'll only get a warning. So it's fuitile
to claim the compilation of the object as proof.
