Hi,
This seems a recurrent problem.
Make sure that SDL was compiled with all the necessary X headers, if
not then X support will be disabled.
If you are using a binary distribution make sure that your
applications aren't linking against some old (forgotten) SDL library
version.

use the following command to check library versions:

ldd luvcview.

There is a thread on a similar issue here:

best regards,
Paulo
