You have problem with the X visual. xawtv can't get any decent visual to
show -anything- on your display. It downgraded its demands to as low as
StaticGray and still no luck.
The errors above are just probing of V4l1 driver. They are OK, and I think
xawtv did find the format that the driver supports (fmt=3, I guess).
Run xdpyinfo and maybe someone better qualified than me will help you
out. IMO, you run some weird visual.
BTW, if you decode the frame from /dev/video "manually" as I suggested
you should get a viewable .ppm image. If so, the driver works, it's just
none of your v4l viewers can't get satisfaction from your X display.
