Hi all,

I tried to find the answer to my question on the web, but couldn't find it. I 
am having some trouble getting my Pinnacle PCTV Pro TV-card to work in 
FreeBSD with fxtv. All I get from fxtv is a blue screen. Channel change works 
in that the OSD displays a channel identifier and a frequency when pushing 
the buttons. I also get a click on start-up of fxtv and some faint noise from 
the speakers the (but nowhere near as loud as a mistuned channel, it 
basically sounds as though something was "turned on"). The version of FXTV 
I'm using is 1.02.

I copied over a configuration file from a friend in the same building, which 
means at least the channels and frequencies should be OK. I wanted to check 
any other options in there, but I can't find where the config file is 
supposed to be (neither in the documentation to fxtv nor using find). 

You can probably tell I am a total newbie, so don't be too hard on me :)

Here's my dmesg output, if it's any use:
