Hello there list!
I have a strange problem with xawtv 3.18 and v4l. I do not know what
and where to look for to make sure "grabdisplay" works in xawtv. This is
most of the output from xawtv on startup (started as non-root user):
WARNING: v4l and dga disagree about the framebuffer base
WARNING: Is v4l-conf installed correctly?
ov_fbuf.base=(nil), base=0xd8000000
WARNING: overlay mode disabled
wmhooks: gnome
ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,-,0x0): Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE(1,-,0x0): Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,-,0x0): Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE(1,-,0x0): Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
v4l: oops: got sigalarm
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Interrupted system call
Then the image freezes, but sound runs smoothly. I can normally exit
xawtv with "q". I cannot switch the mode to "overlay" here.
Starting it as root lets xawtv run fine in "overlay"-mode, but I
cannot change to "grabdisplay". If I try this I get:
v4l: oops: got sigalarm
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Interrupted system call
on the console.
This is what gets written in /var/log/messages when starting xawtv:

How do I best fix this "grabdisplay"-problem?
Thanks in advance for your help and kind advice!
Best regards...
