Hi Amancio/Steve/Gang:

Thanks for your help in creating bktr0 and mixer0.

I just fired up dtv and then fxtv to make sure I really do have the PAL version
and that the probe wasn't just getting it wrong.

Of course it complained about not being able to open /dev/mixer since I don't have a soundcard, but a few seconds later, I also got:

May 17 16:05:29 uhf /kernel: bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 1000694

The second time I used fxtv I used it for more than 60 minutes, and the 
following happened:

May 17 15:13:21 uhf /kernel: bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 1000624
May 17 15:16:21 uhf /kernel: bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 10002a4
May 17 15:17:46 uhf /kernel: bktr0: ioctl: tsleep error 35 100087c

May 17 15:19:26 uhf /kernel: pid 121 (mountd), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)p no matter if I use dtv or fxtv.

Needless to say, CRASH and BURN at this point. And pretty badly - resulted in 
major filesystem damange, including tons of zero length directories, and
duplicate inodes. Luckily not much of importance has been lost, but it could have been worse.

Lastly, my "full dmesg" in case some of you can possible problems from this:
(PCI devices ed2 and vga0 work just fine - my PCI allocation is "automatic"
whatever that means - I find it odd that bktr0 and vga0 are sitting on the same int and irq, but then I don't know anything about PCI irq sharing).

I am not an expert (by any means) at multimedia, so it's quite possible I made a mistake somewhere.

I am prepared to create a temporary account on this machine for current users
on freefall in case you think having a look at the machine localy would help.

Looking forward to your help/comments/suggestions.

Bernie

P.S. If you prefer talking to me with Unix talk, type "talk root@uhf.wireless.net". If I am here, I'll definitely answer.
