TTOM878A Philips Chipset PCI FM/TV Tuner Capture Card

[Jin Guojun [VFFS]]

Eric,

FYI,
I bought this card and it works well with fxtv under both FreeBSD 4.11 
and 5.4,
except bktr does not detect its configuration. I need manually to set 
the tuner code

    sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=4

and everything works. Below is the kernel message. Actually, it has
Conexant fusion 878A chipset:

bktr_mem: memory holder loaded
bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xee800000-0xee800fff irq 10 at device 14.0 
on pci0
bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make.
bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner.
