Hi, For a few months, I've been using my Hauppague Wincast/TV - fm Model 401 on my 2.2.6-Release system to view/capture etc. cable TV. I use fxtv 0.46 from ports but had to get the driver from http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x <http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x>; and patch it as described there to work with a pre 3.0 system. TV is great at 800x600 16bpp (usually) as well as higher resolutions and higher bpp. I just bought a color camera to play with things like Mbone, NetMeeting etc. When I use it with fxtv, the system locks up. At 640x480 8ppp, there is no lockup, but the picture quality is lacking. At 16bpp FreeBSD locks. Under NT 4.0 SP4, I run 800x600 true color to be sure the hardware works. Besides moving to a current version of FreeBSD, is there anything I can try to figure out what is wrong? System specifics: My system is 2.2.6 installed from CDROM. I run XF86 3.3.2 on a Matrox Millennium II PCI with 8MB WRAM. My monitor is a Viewsonic 17. The XF86Config was created using the entries I found in the "monitors" and "Devices" files found in X11R6 sub-directories. Wincast/TV with fm (401) BT878 decoder Phillips FM 1236 tuner Model number is 62471 Rev A bktr0 <BrookTree 878> rev 2 int a irq 9 on pci0:9:0 Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner, dbx stereo. pci0:9:1: vendor=0x109e, device=0x0878, class=multimedia (misc) int a irq 9 [no driver assigned] --> this is the audio chip we have no support for (at least at my FreeBSD version).
