I'm using FreeBSD 4.9-stable as operating system, because this is what I know (and I'm lazy). In this machine, I need a TV card in order to watch or record TV programs. So I looked at the documentation for the bktr driver, in order to make sure I got myself a supprted TV card. I also searched the web extensively, to see if there was prveious experience, Finally, I bought a Hauppauge WinTV PCI FM, model 747. According to all the common knowledge, the WinTV series uses BT8x8 chips, and are supported by the bktr driver. However, this seems to be a newer model. from dmesg: pci1: (vendor=0x14f1, dev=0x8800) at 2.0 irq 11 pci1: (vendor=0x14f1, dev=0x8811) at 2.1 irq 11 from 'pciconf -lv': none2@pci1:2:0: class=0x040000 card=0x34010070 chip=0x880014f1 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Conexant Systems, Inc.' device = 'CX2388x TV Card (MSI PVS Video Capture)' class = multimedia subclass = video none3@pci1:2:1: class=0x048000 card=0x34010070 chip=0x881114f1 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Conexant Systems, Inc.' class = multimedia and finally, from 'lspci -v' (from the pciutils port): 01:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8800 (rev 03) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 3401 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10 Memory at dd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2 01:02.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8811 (rev 03) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 3401 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10 Memory at de000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2 Has anybody got one of these cards working with FreeBSD? If so, where can I get a driver? Or do you know if this chip (the CX2388x) is so similar to the BT8x8 chip that it would be worthwile spending some time trying to make it work with the bktr driver? Option three, how hard would it be to write a driver for this chip? I have never written a driver under FreeBSD before, so this will require me to as all of you a lot of questions. ;^) -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
