I also tried to build a kernel without special Ati Rage Support and with a normal vesa driver in my XFree Config (I am using Xfree 4.1). That did not help, too. > Try adding the option sw_cursor to your XF86Config and restarting X. :-( No, that did not help. Is there a possibility to make a trace of the behaviour of xawtv and the bttv module to see where it hangs? What else could help? Tilo
