Okay.. I will have to agree with you. Hehehe.. I switched from "overlay"
to "Grab display" on xawtv, and the picture shows up, but it is not
smooth. Any ideas as to 1: what I can do or 2: obtain more information so
that I can report it to be fixed? I posted a few minutes ago that I had
swapped out the PCI slots and the errors: 

        ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,grey,64x48): Device or resource busy

do not show up, bu tI still get this one error when I am in overlay mode
(or switch to it):

        ioctl VIDIOCCAPTURE: Invalid argument

do I need to set PLL in bttv or something? *scratches head*
