Background, we in the multimedia list are in the process of improving the tuner detection code due mostly to the ever increasing proliferation of bt848/tuners . So far we have identified a popular bt848 vendor Hauppauge who stores its configuration information in an eeprom over the couple of weeks we engaged in decoding the eeprom and so far we have been successful. This was an important step for detecting the known good configurations helps reduce the search space for bt848/tuners. Prior to that I send out a general query to attempt to identify the basic characteristics of the cards and I am compiling a small database of bt848 / tuner cards -- in the mean time any code dealing with tuner detection addition/deletion has been frozen by me till I get a better handle on the proper identification of the bt848/tuner cards. I have a basic question, can any committer or so called "core" tramp over any code in the tree specially if they are not the author/mantainer of the code? PHK's e-mail seems to imply that is the case. Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
