Hello Michael and all,

I receive pretty much the same output/error after adding a STB TV Video PCI
card to a 4.1 -S box, and recompiling.  I haven't updated the source for
about a week or two, but I hoped the bktr support hasn't changed that much
since then.  On a side note, after rebooting into W98 on the same box, and
having all the other hardware installed, I installed the manufacture's
drivers, and viola, the FM tuner part was recognized.

FreeBSD could recognized the BrookTree chip, but it didn't recognized the
tuner, which displays the PCI vendor code of BrookTree (0x109e =
http://www.yourvote.com/pci/pciread.asp?venid=0x109E).  I tried tweaking my
kernel by looking at the source for bktr (/sys/dev/bktr I think, I'm at work
right now...), but to no avail.  I don't have a sound card currently
installed (getting one soon, and paying OSS for the drivers), so I don't
know if that's throwing the kernel off, but shouldn't this tuner get
recognized properly?

Jon

Hi,
I get the following error when i try to start fxtv
No supported visual found..

this is the dmesg output, which indicated the  card type cannot be
determined..

bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xe7000000-0xe7000fff irq 11 at device 11.0 on
pci0
iicbb0: <I2C generic bit-banging driver> on bti2c0
iicbus0: <Philips I2C bus> on iicbb0 master-only
smbus0: <System Management Bus> on bti2c0
Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make.
IMS TV Turbo, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner.
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 11.1 irq 11

As to the card type, it is just some generic card with a bt878 chip
installed.. Under linux it gets detected as a Miro card...

I tried to set the card type as Miro by sysctl -w hw.bt848.card=1, yet i
still get the error message..

I'm trying to run it under vncserver, from a windows machine could this be
the cause of the problem ?

regards,

Michael
