Ok, i tryed it (once again): $> ./rootv 4 adaptors available. name: video4linux name: video4linux name: video4linux name: 3dfx Video Overlay it prints and then stays quite. No video visible. Tested with the first 3 ports ( 1 and 2 are dvb cards, 3 is bttv) What wonders me, is that this program is there but xawtv uses XvShmPutStill() in it's Xv displaying loop anyway. Are you the only one able to use the PutVideo() call? Which version of the bttv driver do i need at least? (Still using 2.4.0 kernel) _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
