Hi,

I've just bought one of these cards which is based on the Conexant
Fusion 878A chip thinking it would just work under Linux being
bttv-based.  Unfortunately (for me) it's not and it is just picked up as
a generic unknown card by the bttv driver.

Does anyone have one of these that is working, or have any pointers to
what I can try to make it work?  I've had a go manually specifying card=
as a module option for a couple of the existing cards that also use the
Conexant Fusion chip but neither work (BTTV_BOARD_PICOLO_TETRA_CHIP and
BTTV_BOARD_GEOVISION_GV800S).

When I start up xawtv and switch to framegrabber mode I just get lots of
errors in /var/log/messages saying:

Any help appreciated.  More info about the card below.
Thanks,
Rob.

Chips on card:

4x Conexant Fusion 878A
1x PCI6140-AA33PC
1x SMD IC with no markings at all
Couple of 74HCTnnn chips
1x Atmel 520
1x 35.46895M Crystal
