Would it? The error messages we expect to see are FXTV does not work problems, with Tuner or Sound. The SYSCTLS fix this. (in the -current driver. not in -stable yet) A card config setup in FXTV would solve this. You can easily cycle through the cards/tuners until something works. And we can always cover ourselves by saying the BIG(GENERIC)KERNEL only supports Hauppauge cards. Their detection is excellent due to the onboard EEPROM.
