I am running NetBSD 6.1 i386 I have an old TV card "Pixelview PlayTV Pro 2".
I can read the chipset on the card as "conexant fusion 878a" - perhaps close to Bt878 which is supported by bktr driver? I am able to view Composite video using xawtv application. To this extent the things are working. I am not able to get it to tune the RF signal. (Checked RF signal on TV. It is fine.) xawtv is seen giving the following message continuously on trying to tune: Warning: Actions not found: set-values # dmesg | grep bktr bktr0 at pci6 dev 2 function 0 bktr0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 18 bktr0: Card has no configuration EEPROM. Cannot determine card make. bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, Temic PAL I tuner. Perhaps the card is detected wrongly. In man bktr I can see 17 options for options BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD=n. My card is not present in the list, though could I select one with same chipset and is there any way to recognize a nearly matching card? Also, to try out various options, is kernel recompilation the only way or is there any boot or runtime way to try out options? Mayuresh.
