+.Nd "Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device sound"
+.Cd "device snd_fm801"

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+bridge driver allows the generic audio driver,
+.Xr sound 4 ,
+to attach audio devices based on the Forte Media FM801 chipset.
+This is a common chipset found in various parts used by OEM manufacturers.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm

+.Sh AUTHORS
+This manual page was written by
+.An Joel Dahl Aq joel@FreeBSD.org .
+.Sh BUGS
+The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
+sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support.
+One problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the
+same PCI ID.
+This makes it impossible to determine which one is installed.
