Nor this (though once I go to amd64 I should try to fix any ioctl 32-bit oopsies (the one above must be in the kernel/iicbus BTW not in the saa driver). > > > One thing puzzles me: where is the "channels" button in the gui? > > I have a "camera" button, but no channels button.

Your card seems to have a microtune tuner mt2050 which is not yet supported by the saa backend. I'm looking into it. Unfortunately it differs from the other generic tuner APIs for saa in that tuning and init are to be handled differently (mt2032 is supported by bktr, so I can peek there). THis is an important tuner to have support for though for several reasons: - it's on a chip, not in a large chunky metal enclosure - hybrid, though this is not the scope of kbtv, this tuner is a natural fit for DTV and is widely used as such - I have an eyeTV hybrid USB stick here that I'd like to support and it has an mt2060 which is as far as I can see (for analog TV) exactly the same. With the cx88 driver from Linux, nee Marcus, nee Linux, nee Marcus, for the video only I can probably have a much easier time porting it than if I also have to use the linux tuning stuff. This is a longer term goal, not for v2.0.
