FreeBSD support for SAA7134-based TV cards?
Torfinn Ingolfsen
sure it was supported under FreeBSD. I seleted a "Pinnacle PCTV Stereo"
card, because all information I could find said that this card is based
on the bt8x8 chip (which is supported by the bktr driver).
What a surprise, when I finally got to install the card in my computer.
dmesg says:
pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1131, dev=0x7134) at 2.0 irq 10
and from 'pciconf -lv':
none2@pci1:2:0: class=0x048000 card=0x002b11bd chip=0x71341131 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Philips Semiconductors'
device = 'SAA7134HL Multi Media Capture Device'
class = multimedia
Darn!
Has anybody done work on porting the saa7134 driver
from http://bytesex.org/saa7134/ ?
Or writing a driver for the saa7134 based tv cards?

according to some of the source for the broktree driver:
/*
* If probeCard() fails to detect the correct card on boot you can
* override it by setting adding the following option to your kernel config
* options BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD <card type>
* eg options BKTR_OVERRIDE CARD=1
*
* or using the sysclt hw.bt848.card
* eg sysctl hw.bt848.card=1
*
* where <card type> is one of the following card defines.
*/
<long list omitted>
see /usr/src/sys/dev/bktr/bktr_card.h
you may be able to add the vendor and product IDs to bktr_reg.h and
recompile. it may be as simple as that ID is not included at the time
the code was released, but may still work if recognized.

If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day;

No worries, you gave a good answer, even if it wasn't right for this
question.

Ok, so I got myself another TV card. This time, I bought a Hauppauge
WinTV PCI FM, model 747, because the all WinTV cards are supposedly
using a BrookTree chip. I was unliucky again, this card has a Conexant chip:
from dmesg:
pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14f1, dev=0x8800) at 2.0 irq 11
pci1: <unknown card> (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
Obviously, this isn't supported by the bktr driver. :-/

They *used* to be :(

Connexant do Brooktree these days - it may just be one new enough
not to have the PCI IDs registered in the bktr code. You could try adding
them to the code in bktr_probe in bktr_os.c.

Then again I though Connexant called it CN878 so you may be SOL.
