Have you looked in the README file? Make sure you've actually installed the package. :) It contains the following, which might be of interest: =snip= xawtv ----- There is a man page now, read it. Don't expect you can use xawtv without reading the documentation at least once. You are lost if you don't know the keyboard shortcuts, xawtv is'nt a mouse-only program. xawtv will not work without the app-defaults. If you want to try xawtv without installing it, use this... $ XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=./%N.ad $ export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH $ ./xawtv ...to make sure xawtv finds the application defaults (the Xawtv.ad file). If v4l-conf is'nt installed too, you have to run it once (as root) before starting xawtv. -- Jonathan Paisley paisleyj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
