I'm afraid I'll have to postpone any further work on the LL CAM problems
until after VDR version 1.2.0. Until then please use the Root-icam/Dpram-icam
firmware. Note that in that case you should wait about 10 seconds after
loading the driver before you start VDR (otherwise apparently VDR tries
to connect to that CAM - which it can't).

I have asked Holger to keep the -icam firmware up-to-date with the LL
version, so that you will have the OSD fix in the -icam FW, too.
The -icam version that is in the CVS right now still has the OSD bug.
