Sorry, I remember now. :) I think the only way to get this fixed will have to be more specific investigation by someone with a card, or if you have any suggestions for what I can do... And yeah, there should be a tvtime bug about this. :) > But what DO happen (with SAA7134 0.2.2 (latest) and kernel 2.4.20 with > latest v4l2 patch) is that xawtv works perfect in grabdisplay mode, > but overlay gives black and white picture, which is a bit to the left > of the xawtv frame. Several users have reported this. Yeah, and this is confusing to me. Why would xawtv work in grabdisplay mode, and tvtime would fail? What was interesting was this user who says that xawtv using the XVideo/v4l module causes the crash. This makes me wonder if something is conflicting there between XVideo being used and tvtime at the same time. > Tomorrow I will try some v4l1 applications, and tell you about it.
