The second one is right. The Supported_DVB_cards is out of date.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

vp7045 is the driver for the twinhan alpha. It will be included in kernel 
2.6.13, so you could try 2.6.13-rc7, which should be quite stable.

Or you patch your 2.6.12 kernel with patches from here: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/patches/

Or you use dvb-kernel CVS and check out the revisions from 2005-06-30 of 
the files which don't compile.
