I've installed a WinTV PVR 150MCE card in my Dell 4550, which has been runni= ng=20 FreeBSD 5.3 for many months, and would like to try it with fxtv or gnomemeet= ing.=20 Since I'm using a custom kernel which was built without bktr support, I've a= dded=20 the following to loader.conf (from a read of the bktr man page)... =20 bktr_load=3D"YES" =20 iccbus_load=3D"YES" =20 iccbb=3D"YES" I already have smbus support in the kernel. After I boot, kldstat shows all these modules are indeed loaded. But dmesg=20 reports that no driver attached the WinTV. The following is reported by pciconf -lv... =20 none2@pci2:1:0: class=3D0x040000 card=3D0x88010070 chip=3D0x00164444 = rev=3D0x01=20 hdr=3D0x00 =20 vendor =3D 'Conexant Inc (Was: Globespan, ICompression Inc)' =20 device =3D 'iTVC16/CX23416 MPEG Codec' =20 class =3D multimedia =20 subclass =3D video Conexant now owns brooktree technology, right? What have I got wrong? Coul= d it=20 be that this WinTV card really doesn't use a brooktree chip that is one of t= hose=20 supported by bktr? If so and therefore this WinTV card isn't supported by b= ktr,=20 can anyone suggest which WinTV card -would- work?
