It's been awhile and I've tried the different vmux settings with no
luck. I did manage to get a card here locally and now I have one sitting
in my machine as well. Before putting it in the Linux box, I put it in
Windows and used RegSpy and got seven dumps, one for each recognized
card( even though there is one card, it recognizes seven). I tried doing
.gpio = ...... but not much success. Hopefully, by posting these dumps
this will provide more info and hopefully more help. I also can't find
much info on what the pci bridge is(or at least I think that's what I
was trying to find). So I'll post the numbers I got off the card and
hopefully they'll be familiar or at least easily identifiable by someone
else. Firstly, the model number on the card is LE-8008A, part number
looks like 8008A0803008479. There are 8 chips with heat sinks(8 'cards')
with 2 vga outs and 1 svideo out. The pci chip has a logo that as best
as I can describe is the letter P with a lightning bolt through it. It
does not look like the other PLX logos on the site you gave me nor like
the ones on the site with the many, many other cards that include pics.
The numbers on it are P17C, then below that 8150BMAE, then below that
B0750BT. I've found nothing like that anywhere I've looked yet. Also, to
answer a previous inquiry, I don't believe that there is a tuner on this
thing as it is a card that is included in a security camera setup.
Finally, probably the most important part is the RegSpy dumps. They are
like this-----

Hope this helps more as I'm still a bit lost at this point.
