Hello!
thanks to the people here i was able to recompile a kernel and add the
nvidia stuff into it, unfortunaely it didn't resolved my problems with
xawtv.... it complains about missing DGA support....


how do i activate this? couldn't find anything in the xawtv help
(besides the very funny phrase activate DGA.....) nor in the XFree Doku
(where you can find find how to deactivate it....)

anyway xawtv seems to need some framebuffer support... are ther eany
kernel modules involved i should load also?? is there anyway a
comprehensive and complete docu about setting this up?




I think I have the same problem (I have a GeForce DDR). For some reason, xawtv doesn't probe the address properly for overlay support (not sure if it's not trying or something with the Nvidia driver causes problems or something else). I have found if I run
v4l-conf -f
as root when I startup X (only have to do it once each time X starts), xawtv then works fine. I do have VESA framebuffer support in the kernel though I have no idea if that's relevant.
