For the record the order is: PCI Slot 1: Matrox Millenium II PCI Slot 2: Video Tuner Card This is on an ASUS TXP4-X motherboard. > Well, in the current division of labor, that channel number gets fed > straight to the driver, who then maps that to a frequency based on the > configured channel set, and sets the tuner with that.

It finds all the others in the system app-defaults directory. (I'm not mucking with the default X settings at all.) Do you have a pointer to the doc for the Bt848 chipset? I'd like to try poking the card at a lower level to see if I can figure out what's going on. Maybe it's something specific to the card I have. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
