Yes. xawtv looks at the capabilities reported by the hardware driver. If the driver says it can't ajust something xawtv will not display that control because using it would have no effect anyway... For the volume you can tell xawtv to use the soundcard mixer instead of the v4l API. That will help in case the TV card itself can't control the volume. > Also when I change to "grabdisplay" I get : > grabbing: not supported Xvideo? grabbing does'nt work then. You can turn off Xvideo by running xawtv with "-noxv".
