See http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/software.htm for information on which kernel I'm using (currently 2.6.13).
- What about the runvdr script? It's fairly clear how it is supposed to
work on Linux 2.4 systems, but what about 2.6 systems? There is no ../DVB/driver dir there...
Ouch, I totally missed that one when converting everything to the new version.
Since the runvdr script is just a suggestion on how to allow VDR to recover from a driver crash, I'll change it like the attached script. There the user can fill in the functions necessary to detect, load and unload the driver.
