Hello,
I upgraded VDR from 1.6.0 to 1.7.7 (including DVB drivers). The VDR
is running and working correctly as I can say this after 30 minutes of testing.
But I get this strange error message each second after startup of VDR:
ERROR (dvbdevice.c,762): Bad file descriptor
syslog output:

I did following to install the new DVB driver and VDR:
# Download DVB driver
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
# Patch DVB driver
wget ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-header-fix.diff
cd v4l-dvb/linux/
patch -p1 -i ../../v4l-dvb-header-fix.diff
# Build DVB driver
cd ..
make
make install
# Unload all DVB drivers
make unload
# Load required DVB drivers
modprobe budget_ci
modprobe dvb_ttpci
# Build VDR
wget ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.7.tar.bz2
tar -xjf vdr-1.7.7.tar.bz2
cd vdr-1.7.7/
cp Make.config.template Make.config
add:
DVBDIR=/usr/local/src/v4l-dvb/linux
to Make.config
cd ../v4l-dvb/linux/include/linux/
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux/compiler.h
cd -
make
# Modify runvdr:
# Add following lines to function LoadDriver:
modprobe dvb_ttpci
modprobe budget_ci
modprobe cx88_dvb
# Add following lines to function UnloadDriver:
cd /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb/v4l
make unload
cd -
# Start VDR
./runvdr
