Hi folks, I've managed to get my WinTV Go Plus card working on i386fbsd5.3 bktr by hacking the tuner source (unsupported tuner type 0x79) but strangely, the same fixes don't seem to produce video on the amd64 version. The amd64 dmesg shows that the bktr driver boots up the same way as it does under i386, detecting the tuner, and generally being happy. But applications, like fxtv, or the /usr/share demos for the meteor card, only bring up a black screen. Here's the amd64 dmesg: bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xede00000-0xede00fff irq 17 at device 12.0 on pci0 bktr0: [GIANT-LOCKED] bktr0: Hauppauge Model 29440 @ % bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips TDA6503 NTSC tuner. Two questions: 1) any tips on what might be the problem with a "naive" port of bktr/fxtv from i386 to amd64? 2) why are things like fxtv marked in the Makefile as "only working on ...", said list not including amd64? Thanks in advance! Cheers, -RK -- Robert Krten, PARSE Software Devices +1 613 599 8316.
