Hello, A couple of weeks ago I became the happy owner of a PVR-250 card and of course ran into all possible problems I could imagine. To make a long story short, it all works now, thanks to the posting of John Wehle of his cxm driver. To make this driver more accessible to others (multimedia newbies like me), I asked his permission to put this driver into the ports collection. Now that the ports-freeze has ended, I have commited the driver into the ports tree: multimedia/pvr250 (I could of course have called it multimedia/cxm, sysutils/cxm, multimedia/pvr250-350 etc, but since I only had a PVR-250 I stuck with it). What does the port do right now? It installs, if all pre-requisites are fullfilled, the cxm.ko and cxm_iic.ko modules. It gives some background information about the how to check if the card works. It has a disclaimer that I'm only the port maintainer and don't know anything about the software or the cards themselves. If you have such a card, please see if you can get the card working with the port! What can go wrong: - Complaints about checksum mismatch of the hcwPVRP2.sys: run "make makesum" and try again. - ??? <- tell me and I'll try to fix it!
