After some time trying i laid the problem aside. Last week i got a new Graphic card (Nvidia 8800 GTS) and reinstalled Feisty (kubuntu).
Scince the nvidia-glx-new drivers didnt work for me i installed the binary driver from nvidia. xawtv now gives: This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.20-15-generic) xinerama 0: 1600x1200+1600+0 xinerama 1: 1600x1200+0+0 X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL) Serial number of failed request: 67 which could be solved by using the -nodga option (xawtv -nodga). Despite xawtv working i ran into something crazy. Starting kdetv worked, scanning and everything was fine. I shut kdetv down, played a bit (imported old settings from my former install) restarted kdetv and see, the old failure i described in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2007-March/014742.html reappeard. I finally got it working again by playing around with the settings in kdetv, but cant remeber what i exactly did. I wasnt able to reproduce this last bug. -- [apport] xawtv crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
