Hiya, Using xawtv 3.19 with 2.2.18pre9 doesn't appear to work correctly here either. It was working fine with 2.2.17pre20. Haven't tried any other of the 2.2.18pre series as I only just got finished with repackaging my kernel rpm not to include usb/nfs patches. v4l-conf is reporting that the base address disagrees between v4l and dga during xawtv startup. Not sure if this was the case with 2.2.17, as I start xawtv from the gnome panel usually (no terminal window). xawtv was certainly in overlay mode when I was running 2.2.17pre20. WARNING: v4l and dga disagree about the framebuffer base WARNING: Is v4l-conf installed correctly? ov_fbuf.base=0xe1000000, base=0xd8000000 WARNING: overlay mode disabled I hadn't reported yet because I'm using the NVidia binary module (0.95, recompiled against 2.2.18pre9 headers), and wanted to try to isolate the problem specifically to some change in pre9, and not something in the NVidia module for XFree 4.01 not liking something else in pre9 (like the agp stuff). Trying various -nodga/-noxv/-novm flags to xawtv produces an interesting array of hard locks and xawtv crashing. I'll try a 2.2.18pre9 with the 2.2.17 bttv.c/h tomorrow morning.
