Hmm. This is very, very weird. I have tried kernel 2.4.21-pre5 with the
latest v4l2 patch from bytesex.org (20030312). Then xawtv and zapping
worked perfect with both saa7134-0.2.5 and saa7134-0.2.6. And I was
happy.

But when I tried tvtime og mplayer to show tv, they both segfaulted.
Also if I first ran v4l-conf. Always segfault with both drivers. So I
reinstalled kernel 2.4.20 with v4l2 patch from 20030117. With
saa7134-0.2.6, xawtv, zapping and mplayer worked perfect. TVtime did
also work perfect, but I still have to run v4l-conf :( But for the first
time, mplayer works as supposed.

I can't understand why they segfaults with kernel 2.4.21-pre5. Since
noone else has complained, I guess it's my setup it is something wrong
with. :( Anyway, I'm very eager to see the 0.2.6 driver for kernel 2.5.x
series.

Btw. tvtime is the application that seems to like xinerama best :):)

Best regards,
Stian, which is just slightly confused now...
