Looks like the card is unknown to the driver. If you feel like doing a bit of driver-coding, you might be able to extract information from whatever software you were using with Linux and update the bktr driver. A long shot could be to try to override automatic detection and see if the ATI card resembles any of the supported ones. Thus: # sysctl hw.bt848.card=1 [ for 1, 2, ... 13, see bktr(4) ] And try running fxtv for each one. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
