Hi Billy

I'm actually using overlay video with xawtv in camera (composite) mode.
I've switched between grabber and overlay mode without problems. And 
the switch _is_ made, just have to look at the CPU load!

The card is a newer FlyVideo2000, with the SAA7130 chip.
Video card is a SiS305.

Tnx,
John
