Hi,
Do you have any bt848 driver hacks to the brooktree848.c source code
you need to get the card working for you.
eg audio mux changes
Tuner frequency channel sets
This DOES NOT include any kernel config options or any 'sysctl' options
I'm looking for actual source code changes.
The premise: libkvm is fatally flawed by design, and fixing it is not an
easy proposition.
The reasoning: reading from kernel data structures without any locking has
obvious race conditions.
This is why any identd that uses libkvm sucks and gets into loops all the
time, etc.
This is why netst

It breaks because compat22 is installing _everything_ in

I tried to install netscape 4.08 from both

Both times, I get the following error
