>Description:
After replacing the Pentium II 400 on a BX board in my system with an
Athlon 700 on a KX133 board I observerd two problems:

1.) eap(4) didn't work correcty with the Soundblaster PCI 128 anymore,
    there were several clicks during audio playback.
2.) bktr(4) wasn't able to show a fullscreen life picture anymore.

Both boards worked absolutely fine with Windows 98 SE on the same
hardware. Replacing the board again with a Pentium III 700e on
a BX board solved both problems for NetBSD.

Because there were also reports about problems with boards based on
VIA's VX133 chipset I suppose a problem with their south bridge and
NetBSD's PCI support.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use a Soundblaster PCI 128 or a Hauppauge WinTV PC in a board
with KX133 chipset.

>Fix:
Sorry, I don't know.
