Hello
Finally I wanted to update my System (SuSE 9.0 was a little outdated). This may my personal present for the New Year:-() As mentioned above I installed OpenSuse 10.3 - linux-2.6.22 I used the DVB-driver from the kernel - but was somewhat astonished about the firmware that it offered. I also suspect: I couldn't tell the driver that I have the Nexus FF card. VDR i compiled myself. The directory-Settings of SuSEs vdr are very ugly :-) But when I start vdr it goes down after few minutes - the message in the logfile says "got signal 15" ... Nobody send it. What astonishes me: Yesterday it worked for some hours reliable. This morning it restarted about every 2 - 3 minutes. (No thermal problem. The card is never hot :-) Analysis of /var/log/messages is complicated, since the stock-kernel has debugging of I2C enabled. I have to remove it. But my first goal is of course: Get vdr again reliable running. Tried to compile the dvb-driver from the vdr-wicki, but that failed. Looks like I have to live with the DVB-driver from the kernel. I really don't know, what to do best. Anybody with similar problems? Still better: anybody with a solution?
Regards Wolfgang
Hello
Sorry for bothering the list - I found the reason: I had in the binaries an old version of vdr left. This came earlier in my $PATH, then the new compiled version. Sometimes it's so easy :-)

Well, vdr's defaults are unacceptable for any FHS compliant distro. First and foremost due to "Applications must never create or require special files or subdirectories in the root directory". You are free to use a symlink or bind mount for the video directory though.
