Eric Kozowski:
|
|ok, now that i got the sound blaster working, i'm having trouble w/ a
|bt848 based video capture card from video logic.
|
|the problem is that every time i put the bt848 card in (it's pci) i get
|no video signal on my agp video card. take the bt848 back out and i get
|video signal from the agp video card to my monitor again.
|
|kinda tough to troubleshoot w/ no video out. i searched the freebsd
|archives and web site w/ no luck. anyone have any ideas?
Strange. Don't know. You might try:
- Check that you have all the IRQs and DMAs for your ISA cards allocated
to ISA in your BIOS
- Change which PCI slot the bt848 is in
- Pull your other cards except for these two
- For a test, do you have another video card to try with the bt848?
- Do you have another machine connected to this one (via
ethernet/slip/plip/etc.)? If so, build a kernel with bt848 support,
boot into FreeBSD with the bt848, and check your /var/run/dmesg.boot
for how its being detected
- If not, you might try: build a kernel with bt848 support, install, make
sure it works with your video card, reboot, power-off, snap the bt848
in, power on, boot into FreeBSD, let it get to the prompt, reboot,
power-off, yank the bt848, power-on, and see what your
/var/run/messages file has to say about the card and the driver's
detection of it.
These are _complete_ shots in the dark. In case you need some ideas.
Hopefully though someone else will chime in and solve all your problems. ;-)
FWIW, other folks on the multimedia list have had PCI bt848s working fine
with AGP video cards for a year or so, so it's likely that this is related
to your specific hardware or configuration.
