LS, Just notices something strange, maybe somebody can enlighten me. When running XFree-4, xawtv set a strange framebuffer address. Overlaying to this region does not crash the system, but neither gives any output to the screen. I think XFree mistakenly? thinks my S3 card does YUV translation or whatever it is called, but my card does not seem to do that. How do i turn it off? -xv does not make a difference.) Not to the SETFBUF at least. grabbing mode works perfectly btw.
