Xawtv and XFree86 4.0

Hi I'm trying to run xawtv on my woody box, and although the program runs I have no sound and the display's only black and white. On the xterm window from where I run xawtv I get the following error message: Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":0.0" What can I do to make it work right

Debian ipmasq

Q: how to allow permanently other users to X

My problem is the following: if I started kdm as user X and change to user Y I have to use xhost + to be able to start xclock. (xhost +localhost and the like is not enough.) But anyhow, I want to allow it for the all users on the same machine permanently. I tried to put localhost into /etc/kde2/kdm

realplayer through firewall

Hey people. I had realplayer working perfectly through my firewall/router, and then I upgraded from the 2.2.12 kernel to the 2.2.19 kernel. I still have the realaudio masq module built and loaded, and I'm using the same ipchains script to set up the rules, but now it doesn't want to work.
