Hm I am not sure about this part... at least in my part of the world,
(Central Europe) it is becoming harder to find a Brooktree based TV
card, revent models use a Philips chipset which has better picture
quality but is AFAIK not supported by FreeBSD... so you have to be extra
careful when buying.

Just my HUF 0.02...

I committed a very different version of your patch.  Your submission 
was too much based on the bktr(4) manual page, however you are in the 
section credits. 
For more informations about the changes I made, please look at the 
committed diff.  Thanks!
