tuner.x scans for a tuner address and should report where it found
one.

The Galaxis card should be identical to the Technotrend and Siemens
cards. 
There was one case before on the linux-dvb mailing list with a Galaxis
card. In that case there was a problem with talking to the dual ported
RAM. This was resolved for him by changing the motherboard. I donīt know why
it did not work on his original board.

But in this case there seems to be a general problem with the I2C
bus. It would be good to see a complete log of the kernel messages
during driver installation.
