[vdr] Re: Video Disk Recorder version 0.99pre5

Hmm .... i tried to compile your latest patched driver, but it end up with
an error:

dvb_firm.c: In function `init_dvb_firm':
dvb_firm.c:11: `Dpram' undeclared (first use in this function)
dvb_firm.c:11: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
dvb_firm.c:11: for each function it appears in.)
dvb_firm.c:13: `Root' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[3]: *** [dvb_firm.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/siemens_dvb-0.9-20020202/driver'
make[2]: *** [_mod_/usr/src/DVB/driver] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.4'
make[1]: *** [here] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/siemens_dvb-0.9-20020202/driver'
make: *** [insmod] Error 2

Does VDR099pre5 still run with the old drivers from 17.11.2001? (they
compile without errors)

Greetings,
Sebastian
