It's not the appropriate place to discuss about it, but look at this :
Hi everybody,
I'am trying to make my DVB-s to work on my linux system, but I still have 
problems.
First, I tried to compile the DVB driver with gcc 3.0 but I had a probelm to 
compile fdump.cc,
so I use gcc2.96 to compile this file ( does it matter ?)
The dvb driver compile well, when I do make insmod here is the message :
kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module

app c2aac010
kernel: dvb: 1 dvb(s) found!

I'm worried about the bootarm() failed -> is there any problem ?

I tried VDR but it doesn't work : I have no message, nothing.
Here the message :
vdr[6822]: VDR version 0.98 started
vdr[6822]: loading /video/setup.conf
vdr[6822]: probing /dev/ost/frontend0
vdr[6822]: ERROR (dvbapi.c,3059): Opération non permise
vdr[6824]: EIT processing thread started (pid=6824) - master
vdr[6822]: probing /dev/ost/frontend1
vdr[6822]: found 1 video device

Mplayer cannot output to the DVB-S card, I can only hear a piece of music 
(1/10 of second)
What can I use to test the DVB-S card which work under winxp ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kernel version : 2.4.10
Gcc version : 3.0 (but for fdump.cc : 2.96!!)
