DESCRIPTION

     This driver supports video capture (frame grabber) and TV tuner cards
     based on the Brooktree Bt848, Bt848A, Bt849A, Bt878 and Bt879 chips.

     Supported cards include most cards by AVerMedia, Hauppauge, Leadtek,
     Miro, Pinnacle, Pixelview, Terratec, and some other companies, especially
     all cards based on the Brooktree Bt848, Bt848A, Bt849A, Bt878, or Bt879
     chips.  A notable exception are the ATI All-in-Wonder cards.

     The following kernel configuration options are available:

     options BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD=n
     If the card is not recognized correctly by the auto-detection routine, it
     can be overridden by setting this option to the appropriate value. The
     following values are allowed:
     1   Pinnacle (Miro) TV,
     2   Hauppauge WinCast/TV,
     3   STB TV/PCI,
     4   Intel Smart Video III and Videologic Captivator PCI,
     5   IMS TV Turbo,
     6   AVer Media TV/FM,
     7   MMAC Osprey,
     8   NEC PK-UG-X017,
     9   I/O DATA GV-BCTV2/PCI,
     10  FlyVideo,
     11  Zoltrix,
     12  KISS TV/FM PCI,
     13  Video Highway Xtreme,
     14  Askey/Dynalink Magic TView,
     15  Leadtek Winfast TV 2000, and
     16  TerraTVplus.

     options BKTR_OVERRIDE_TUNER=n
     If the TV tuner is not recognized correctly by the auto-detection rou-
     tine, it can be overridden by setting this option to the appropriate val-
     ue. Known values are:
     1   Temic NTSC,
     2   Temic PAL,
     3   Temic SECAM,
     4   Philips NTSC,
     5   Philips PAL,
     6   Philips SECAM,
     7   Temic PAL I,
     8   Philips PAL I,
     9   Philips FR1236 NTSC FM,
     10  Philips FR1216 PAL FM,
     11  Philips FR1236 SECAM FM,
     12  ALPS TSCH5 NTSC FM, and
     13  ALPS TSBH1 NTSC.

     options BKTR_OVERRIDE_DBX=n
     To override detection of the BTSC (dbx) chip, set this to 1 if you have
     one, or 0 if not.

     options BKTR_OVERRIDE_MSP=n
     To override detection of the MSP 34xx chip, set this to 1 if you have
     one, or 0 if not.

     options BKTR_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=n
     If this option is set to BROOKTREE_PAL default to PAL, else to NTSC.

     options BKTR_USE_PLL
     Default to PLL instead of XTAL.

     options BKTR_GPIO_ACCESS
     Use ioctl's for direct GPIO access.

     options BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET
     Skip the MSP reset. This option is handy if you initialise the MSP audio
     in another operating system first and then do a soft reboot.
