OK. That's a good news, because I don't like to open my computer case.

It works when I use the -nodga option:
# xawtv -nodga
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18)

v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

I can't choose any other input than DVB (a DVB tuner card is also
installed on my system). :-/

I use Debian SID, and I often upgrade my kernel and software to the
latest version.
I compiled the kernel myself and it is:
Linux reno 2.6.18 #1 SMP Fri Sep 22 14:13:06 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
As regards to X, I was using XFree86 the last time I used my Zoran card.
Now I use Xorg.
I upgraded my GFX card and it's nvidia module. I used an Nvidia 5900XT,
and now I use an Nvidia 7600GS. I upgraded because I needed OpenGL 2.0
to benefit from hardware accelerated graphics in Cinelerra.
I also upgraded the CPU. I used an XP2400, and now I use an AMD64 X2
(dual-core) 4600+
And I also installed some more RAM (I now have 3Gb of mem)
Well, I think that'll... Of course, a lot of software was upgraded,
since I use Debian SID which I often upgrade!

That would be nice. I hope you'll get enough spare time to do that.

Thank you, Bernhard!
Nicolas.
