Any suggestions? --- I am quite impressed by latest nvidia drivers - 560FPS for glxgears on a TNT2M64 compared with any previous driver(85FPS). So, I tested some of the apps that I ussually run, including xawtv and xmms (visualizations opengl: freeze xmms if enable-disable-enable; enable or enable-disable are OK). You're right, the combination nvidia-1.0-6106 with xawtv is a killer. For xawtv, if you use "-remote" which disables overlay mode, it should work. I also use -noxv which reduces the procesor use even further. It's not perfect, but it works for me. My line now is: xawtv -c /dev/video0 -remote -noxv . Hope it will work for you too, Ioan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo
