Hi list,

Asking myself if I want to build kernels and drivers for 4 different PCs or try my luck with an old DVB API patch for vdr-1.5.14, I've chosen the latter. The attached patch implements fallback for VDR in case no multiproto DVB driver headers are available.

I'm not really sure what I've been doing here, as I don't know the DVB API well enough, but at least my vdr-1.5.14 is running on old DVB drivers again. The patch is a bit hackish, and could probably be implemented a bit more cleanly, but its a starting point.

Cheers,

Udo
