I assume it fails in both cases then? try using the -c option and specifying the video device as /dev/v4l/video0 (i thionk the default may be /dev/video0) xawtv -c /dev/v4l/video0 then if that doesn't work try xawtv -hwscan (does a hardware scan) (don't worry about the string conversion error, I get that too) if it still crashes try emerge strace strace xawtv big output as it traces all system calls, but the error should be near the end. > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
