(both TV and radio functions) The bktr driver does not support and VGA+TV combination cards on the market. So there is no support for Voodoo3 3500 TV, no support for the Matrox G400 with TV capture no support for the Elsa Erazer III (TNT2) TV capture The bktr driver is only for PCI cards using the Bt848, Bt849, Bt878 and Bt879 chipsets from Brooktree/Conextant/Rockwell. Over in the world of Linux, they have been working on drivers for the Voodoo3 3500TV so there is an option to port code over or to get specs and datasheets. This would not be an extension to the bktr driver though. It would have to be a new driver. And if you write a new driver, you can either use the Meteor Video API which we use in *BSD or you could port the V4L API linux uses. If you want to look at the various linux drivers, there are links from my BKTR driver pages at http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk/bt848 Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
