xawtv is misbehaving

[bacterium@xxxxxxx]

Hello, all.
I have a Kensington camera which uses the se401 module. xawtv is not 
working with it. I know it is working correctly, because it works with 
another video viewer, called gqcam. Ok, this is what happens: when I 
start up xawtv, I get a bizarre messed up picture that looks like three 
stretched pictures side by side, only the colour is all wrong and there 
are horizontal yellowish lines through it. When I resize the window, I 
get a normal image, but the motion stops. Also, xawtv responds 
intolerably slowly. I believe my machine is fast enough, as I used to 
have an older one runnig xawtv with a bttv card and the very same video 
card and that worked fine. (I am running this on slackware 8.0, with 
Linux 2.4.14, se401 module, xawtv is the newest version, I can't recall 
the number) Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adrian.
