Subject:   bktr0 needs "options" kernel patch

Hi all.  Getting back into the saddle and filtering through unhandled
mail. 

John Baldwin sent me the following mail.  Just checked, and it appears the
2.2 (and 3.0) kernels need a patch to allow BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES in 
kernel config files again, as the comment in brooktree848.c says:

     /* 
      * Allocate enough memory for:
      *      768x576 RGB 16 or YUV (16 storage bits/pixel) = 884736 = 216 pages
      *
      * You may override this using the options "BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES=value"
      * in your  kernel configuration file.
      */

Could somone commit this?

Thanks,

Randall

Subject: Update to bktr0 driver patch for FreeBSD 2.2

I downloaded the bt848.980519.tgz driver from your FXTV web page and found
that my 2.2 system (last cvsup'd 31 October 98) needed the following
additional patch for the kernel compile to work:

# diff -u /sys/conf/options.orig /sys/conf/options
- --- /sys/conf/options.orig      Sun Nov  1 13:41:55 1998
+++ /sys/conf/options   Sun Nov  1 13:41:28 1998

 PPP_DEFLATE            opt_ppp.h
 PPP_FILTER             opt_ppp.h
+
+# Brooktree 848/9 video capture/TV tuner
+BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES  opt_bktr.h

I'm not sure if you are directly responsible for the driver patch itself or
not, but if you aren't, I'm hoping you will forward this to whoever
is. Thanks.
