I don't need the flexcob-usb module that generated the build error, so
I'll just edit the Makefile to remove it from the build. Perhaps I'll
even get the 1025 running on FC5.
Good idea. I didn't look too close at the error message. At the
time, I had a lot of other variables to deal with (like pointing the
antenna and finding an LNB), so I took the path of least resistance.

Nick:
This card can be made to work.
I've forwarded some stuff I got from Ray that helped me.
I've got it to work with a specific v4l-dvb tree that Manu made
(see below). I've only been able to make it work with Linux 2.6.15 on
FC4. When I upgraded my FC4 to Linux 2.6.16, then Manu's v4l-dvb tree
wouldn't compile anymore. Simliarly it wouldn't compile on FC5.
After that, it works great. I've been using it with Echostar 7 at
119 west.

Thanks for your help.
I tried to compile Manu's modules on Fedora Core 5, but I got an error:
cgi-bin-hgwebdir-cgi-v4l-algo-test-70266933831b/v4l/flexcop-usb.c:547:
error: unknown field 'owner' specified in initializer
FYI, it compiled fine with Fedora Core 4, but I can't test it with the
VP1025 because it's at work, so I should be able to test it on Monday.

This is the key email. Get that kernel module and you should be on your
way.
Also, you need the following in modprobe.conf:
options dst dst_algo=0
options bttv card=0x71
install bttv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bttv && /sbin/modprobe
dvb_bt8xx remove dvb { /sbin/modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx; }
alias char-major-81 bttv

For build instructions please do refer to the v4l-dvb build instructions.
A simple make should build in most cases. Would like to get your feedback
on this.
