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.
