Hi,
As I was expecting, my post to freebsd-multimedia will not get me anywhere..
However, I'm not in the mood to give up this time..
Anyone here who has experienced making Leadtek Winfast 2000 XP RM work under
FreeBSD?
Just one quick answer, please
Is this supported or not? :-(
I've been digging the list archive for quite some time now but still no
luck.
Someone got the same tv tuner and asked for help about a year ago..

I wonder what he/she has done with his tuner.. or did he just bought another
one which costs more.
You might want to check on the thread I started at freebsd-multimedia:

Thanks for the time..
I hope this is not cross posting.. i'm just trying to get some more help..
:-(

Hi,
just purchased an ultra-cheap PCI TV Tuner, Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP
RM and couldn't make it to work.
There were only 17 matches when you search the freebsd-multimedia
archive for winfast... been reading it over and over again and I
couldn't get any closer to my goal.
The box:
FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE
Sysctl:
hw.bt848.slow_msp_audio: -1
hw.bt848.format: 0
hw.bt848.reverse_mute: -1
hw.bt848.tuner: 15
hw.bt848.card: 14
I tried using kbtv:
Hardware Info:
Bktr module: Loaded
Capture chip: BrookTree 878
Card name: Leadtek Winfast TV 2000 sysctl:14
-huh!? I thought it was 15 says bktr (4)
Tuner type: LG TP18PSB12P PAL sysctl:15 - as
according to this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-multimedia/2005-August/002521.html
I'm leaving here in the Philippines
The tv tuner's surface doesn't really say anything about it's tuner
type. It just have a sticker with Winfast TV2000 XP RM and NTSC
selected on the checkbox..
The chipset is definitely a Conexant Fusion 878.
I tried xawtv... played with different values to no avail.
$xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95, running on FreeBSD/i386 (6.2-PRERELEASE)
looking for available devices
port 57-88
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : NV Video Blitter
/dev/bktr0: OK [ -device /dev/bktr0 ]
type : bktr
flags: overlay capture tuner
However, upon launching xawtv, I got these:
$xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95, running on FreeBSD/i386 (6.2-PRERELEASE)
Warning: Cannot convert string
-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-* to type FontStruct
Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0.
I removed bktr_load=YES from /boot/loader.conf, rebooted the machine
sysctl were also gone it was detected as:
Leadtek Winfast TV 2000, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner.
Perhaps you can get something from the verbose dmesg:
