This one is interesting, but I've gotten to the point that I'm pulling out my last hairs on this one: Xawtv shows only moving vertical stripes changing color. When I run with -noxv everything is fine (except black horizontal lines in overlay when scaling the image - a separate issue I believe). Nothing seeming out of the ordinary in debug messages (attached below). HELP Please, any ideas? -Justin Card: NVidia GeForce2 GTS Driver: nv XFree86: 4.1.0 Xawtv: 3.38 and 3.58 (both show same problem) xawtv -v 1 This is xawtv-3.38, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.3-20mdksmp) visual: id=0x21 class=4 (TrueColor), depth=24 visual: id=0x22 class=5 (DirectColor), depth=24 check if the X-Server is local ... **** ok x11 socket: me=localhost, server=localhost main: dga extention...
