you find the card numbers in cx88.h and should try card=13, that will also load
the tda9887 demodulator, assuming you are on some recent stuff and not first 
alpha, since now you pass the card number to cx88xx.

Also the best info you find always with "dmesg" after modprobe.

In case you should have the Pal variant, there is a slight uncertainty for the 
gpio values in cx88-cards.c. You can look it up here.
