sylvio@ is currently working on an update to 0.5.56 (or .57) so could you
send him your patches to get your problem fixed?

As I don't know all the history and details of the cxm/prvxxx driver I
hope that someone can help me on this. Having such a hardware to play
around with would probably also help but as i read from other posts you are
currently working on updating the cxm driver to FreeBSD 8.x. I've cc'd
grog@ and usleepless as they did a lot of work on the cxm driver in the
past so probably they have something to say about it.

>From what i have read the cxm driver has some kind of v4l support so the
above message makes sense because you obviously have configured mythtv to
use v4l. What I don't know is how it worked in the past. Do you have such
an output from 0.21 where it works and does it look different? The v4l
support is enabled in mythtv and it does at least work with webcamd so
probably they have changed something in the mythtv code that the cxm driver
does not support yet.

I have also found the following link in the mythtv pkg-descr to a
different version of the cxm driver. It looks like this version is a few
weeks newer then what is in ports as pvrxxx so does anyone know what the
difference is?
