makedev.napi only creates the devices for the new API. Osdtest uses
the old API. You will have to create the /dev/margi node according to
the README (mknod -m 0666 /dev/margi char 200 0). For examples of the
new API, see the sources and documentation in the DVB package or the
documentation on linuxtv.org.
