[newbie] TV Card picture ok as root, black and white as user.
Hello, I have a TV card, Pinnacle PCTV with a PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 PCI graphics card. If I log on as root the TV card works a treat. If I logon as user everythiing again is ok apart from the picture being black and white. To me this is obviouusly a permissions problem. But I've tried altering permissions on kdetv no change. xawtv is the same so I suspect I need to alter permissions, not on the gui frontends, but on the card itself. Any help appreciated, thanks.

I don't know the answer but I'm pretty sure I've seen discussion of this problem on other lists. Have you tried google? I think you'll turn up something.
