Hi, running xawtv (compiled in Suse-7.0) on my machine with XFree86-3.3.6 will exit as soon as you move the pointer with the message: Error: Couldn't find per display information The same has been reported by others and is in Gerd's KNOWN_PROBLEMS. WORKAROUND: - change "config.h" by commenting this out: #define HAVE_LIBXXF86DGA 1 - make (again) Any X-perts here? Gunther MORE INFORMATION: ================= 1) Compiling with dga it you get: ./xawtv -v 2 This is xawtv-3.30, running on Linux/i586 (2.4.1) visual: id=0x20 class=4 (TrueColor), depth=16 check if the X-Server is local ... **** ok x11 socket: me=localhost, server=localhost xfree_dga_init DGA version 1.1 <----- xfree-3.3.6 has DGA ! ... ioctl: VIDIOCGAUDIO(0,TV,vol=65535,balance=0,bass=0,treble=0,mode=0x1,step=0): ok PropertyNotify WM_NAME PropertyNotify KWM_WIN_TITLE keypad: timeout PropertyNotify WM_NAME PropertyNotify KWM_WIN_TITLE Error: Couldn't find per display information -> it seems it doesn't bomb when calling a dga function 2) Note: XFree-4.0.2 will show "DGA version 2.0". 3) ldd xawtv libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4001e000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4003f000) libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0x4005e000) libXxf86dga.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so.1 (0x40063000) libXaw3d.so.7 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7 (0x40069000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x400c0000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x400d7000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40125000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4012f000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40147000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40155000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40225000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40239000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4031c000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4032b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
