Hi there :)
I got myself a 4 port low budget video capture card with a conexant fusion 878a 25878-132 chip. I
run ubuntu hardy with a 2.6.24-16-generic kernel. The manufacturer is call DSR. I have trouble
getting it installed. I want to be able to see all four inputs at the same time.
lspci gives me this:

I also installed the card in windows, where it works fine, also viewing 4 inputs at the same time,
I used btspy to get some info, the output is displayed below:

Add here all the comments you want!
If your card can decode Stereo TV, and
your card does NOT use one of the following chips,
you will have to "peek" the right
GPDATA and GPOE values to enable Stero and SAP audio.
The driver already supports the DPL3518, MSP34xx, PT2254,
TDA7432, TDA8425, TDA9840, TDA9850, TDA9855, TDA9873,
TDA9874, TDA9875, TEA6300 and TEA6420 and does not require
extra information to drive them!
BtSpy Realtime Peeker:
GPOE: 0xf00000
GPDATA: 0xF36FFF
At the current state when I try to view the inputs with e.g. xawtv i can change the "video source"
(the current option in xawtv are called Television,Composite1,SVideo,Composite3) it shows me some
very distored picture but also not all four resources, so what do i have to do to get it working,
please help, thank you ;)
