Hello,

I'm now running FBSD 6.2 and trying to test the pvrxxx port that was  
sent to this list most recently.

I've installed the port successfully after doing my kernel patch, but  
MythTV is still reporting that /dev/cxm0 cannot be probed after  
setting my video device to /dev/cxm0 (this is what you are supposed  
to do, right?)

It says: "Could not open '/dev/cxm0' to probe its inputs"

Here is some info about my card, reported by /var/log/messages, FWIW:

Feb 27 02:27:27 mymachine kernel: cxm0: <Conexant iTVC16 MPEG Coder>

I know this probably isn't useful right now, but here is my  
mythbackend spew:
