Hi there,

either i'm too stupid to set this up, or there is something seriously
broken.

I have two Hauppauge Models here, one is a cheap one with only
mono-sound. the other one has a FM-Stereo Tuner.

mono-card:
WinTV Model 44004 REV C108

dmesg output:
bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44004 C108
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips PAL I tuner.
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 9.1 irq 5

stereo-card:
WinTV Model 44354 REV C221
MSP3415D B3 (this is the FM tuner?)

dmesg output:
bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44354 C221
bktr0: Detected a MSP3415D-B3 at 0x80
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1216 PAL FM tuner, msp3400c
stereo, remote control.
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 9.1 irq 5


both chips have the Conexant Fusion 878A Chip and look virtually
identical.

this is the relevant part of the kernel config:
device          bktr
device          smbus
device          iicbus
device          iicbb
device          iicsmb
options         BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_PAL
options         BKTR_USE_PLL
options         BKTR_GPIO_ACCESS

and this is in /etc/sysctl.conf
hw.bt848.card=2
hw.bt848.tuner=10
hw.bt848.format=0

Both cards worked with fxtv till 4.5 or 4.4 i can't remember. i'm now
running 4.7-PRE and right now nothing works.

let's start with the crashes and computer freezes. putting in both cards
at the same time will result in a kernel panic at boot-up (i think when
setting the sysctl-variables).

running xawtv in overlaymode doesn't work (only black window visible) and
shutting down X afterwards freezes the computer, and after waiting 4-5
seconds reboots the machine.

running xawtv in grabdisplay mode doesn't freeze the machine at shutdown,
but i only get sound with the mono card. the stereo card remains silent.
(and grabdisplay is very slow). i think the problem here is with the 'nv'
driver. i also tried the (very early) 'nvidia' driver but it didn't fix
the problem. i replaced the GeForce with an old S3 Trio 64 and overlay
mode worked (still no sound with the stereo card).

now fxtv only uses grabdisplay mode and when setting audio to "internal
mode" it used to work with even with the stereo card. but since...well
sometime around 4.5 even fxtv stopped doing what i wanted it to do.
right now i can only get a picture when running it with -driverDefaults.
though the picture i get runs at about 5fps. if i omit the
-driverDefaults i can get sound but there is no way i can get any picture
at all. even fiddling with the Fxtv in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
doesn't do anything.

right now the only working setup is mono-card + xawtv + grabdisplay. the
bad thing is: i already sold the mono-card in favour of the stereo card,
so i can't use this card for much longer (the surely guy wants it
someday)

i already had a conversation with the xawtv-writer and xawtv-port
maintainer, but both couldn't really help me :(

the next thing i'm doing now is installing -current (but i don't see any
chance of this fixing my problems :(

any help would be greatly appreciated!
