There is no Xvideo support in XF3.3.x AFAIK, which means there is no V4L support in it either. This is not a problem. Just make xawtv use the regular V4L interface ( directly, without "assistance" of X server ) to get the picture and use regular ( non-Xvideo ) way to display it. So: - remove all Xvideo and v4l stuff from you X11 configuration - you probaly need the "-noxv" option for xawtv , so it won't try to use Xvideo No warranty though :-) -- David Balazic -------------- "Be excellent to each other." - Bill & Ted - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
