Hiho, I used vdr successfully with Linux 2.4.21 long time, but the motherboard got defect and the old kernel seems to have problems with the new board I bought (Asus A7V8X). From time to time vdr crashed, or shows a black screen on some channels, especially if there were two recordings at a time. So I decided to upgrade the system to Kernel 2.6.7, to see if this makes a difference. After some hassle with the DVB drivers (and a major device number which should be 212 in Kernel 2.6.7 but IS in fact still 250...), everything seems to be fine but one thing: the on screen display is invisible. :( The system has a Hauppauge Nexus-S full-featured and a Hauppauge Nova budget card. Linux is Debian Woody, with some packages from backports.org to be able to compile and use kernel 2.6.7. I recompiled vdr on the running 2.6.7 kernel (pointing DVBDIR to the linux source directory). So everything should be consistent with the new kernel. I also tried all three different firmware versions from linuxtv.org (since the release notes mentions changes regarding OSD functionality): without any difference. Anyone with some useful hints where to dig? If you need more information (log output etc.), please let me know. Thanks, Joern -- .''`.
