Hello all,
I have several questions about BTTV / XawTV and Xv. I've been trying
to get XawTV to scale its output to my desktop resolution using Xv, but
was unable to get it working to this point.
I'm using the following software configuration:
Linux Kernel 2.2.18
XFree86 4.0.2 w/ nVidia's binary driver (I'm loading the v4l module)
BTTV 0.7.52 (compiles/works fine w/ 2.2.18 after fixing up kcompat24.h)
XawTV 3.28
I compiled all of the above from source to make sure they work nicely
together and made sure to enable xvideo support for XawTV.
This is the hardware I'm trying to get things working with:
BT878 TV card
nVidia GeForce256 DDR
I start XawTV with the -xv and -dga options - judging from its output
everything should be fine from what I can tell, but instead of scaling
the video stream to 1152x864, i get a centered output window roughly
800x600 in size when switching to fullscreen. This is what XawTV says:
Chronos<phoenix>:~# xawtv -xv -dga
This is xawtv-3.28, running on Linux/i686 (2.2.18)

I found the xvideo test program in XawTV's source tree and this is the

Since Xvideo HW scaling works fine for applications such as xine I
guess that something is wrong on the v4l side of things. But since I
know very little about the mechanisms involved, I'd greatly appreciate
it if you could tell me what's going on.
