30.Nd "Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
33kernel configuration file:
34.Bd -ragged -offset indent

71.Sh BUGS
72The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
73sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support.
74One problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the
75same PCI ID.
76This makes it impossible to determine which one is installed.
