There were some kernel versions even with broken dvb drivers, so I always took the latest cvs drivers when building a new distri. This workes fine for a long time but in the last two weeks I was twice forced to update the kernel. I understand that these changes may lead to break backward compatibilty, but I was very astonished that this happened twice in such a short time after I had no problem for about 4 months. So would you `really recommend to use always the drivers coming with the kernel ? -- Helmut Auer, helmut@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
