It may be possible that 2.6.13 is simply a bit to old for certain modules to compile properly (because of the kernel header files). I suggest that you upgrade your kernel, for exemple to the latest 2.6.17.7 or to the kernel rpm-packages from Suse 10.1, which is 2.6.16-blabla (install also the source package !!). In the first case you have to compile the kernel your self. Furthermore it is quite possible that the v4l_dvb subtree in the 2.6.17.7 kernel is already good enough for your dvb card, i.e. you only need to select the proper modules when configuring the kernel before compilation and the rest is automatic. If you install the binary rpm-package 2.6.16... for Suse 10.1 it may even be completely automatic, i.e. it may work directly if you have an USB device. You only need the latest v4l_dvb sources (to obtain by "hg clone ...") in case you suffer from a bug which has only recently be solved (maybe during the last 1-2 months).
