I have two identical devices (tuner0, tuner1), both created by MAKEDEV, which
are used in conjunction with bktr0 and bktr1 (also created by MAKEDEV) by fxtv.
Both bktr0 and bktr1 work well with videod, but not with fxtv, which also uses
tuner devices. Tuner0 works fine with bktr0, but every time I try to use bktr1,
fxtv terminates after printing an error message saying that tuner1 is not
configured. Neither of the video capture cards I am using have tuners
installed, so at first glance tuner* should not be accessed at all. However,
it appears that some ioctls which control bktr video capture are accessed
through the tuner device. It would be nice if I could get fxtv to work with
bktr1 instead of rewriting the tvcapture module used by fxtv.

My understanding is that devices (e.g. /dev/tuner*) are configured by OpenBSD
kernel at boot time. Why is tuner0, but not tuner1, initialized by OpenBSD?

What do I need to do to get tuner1 to be initialized and work with fxtv?

Thanks,
Dave Feustel

cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV tuner1

I tried that; /dev/tuner1 was created, but fxtv still did not work with /dev/bktr1.
