I'm not familiar with that program. > From a Linspire list I found: I used this program to fix a configuration problem with xawtv. My xawtv was not displaying any video, just a black screen with sound. To diagnose the problem, I ran xawtv from an xterm window and observed the following messsages: WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support. WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual configuration ("v4l-conf -a ") I opened up the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log and searched for the term "framebuffer" until I found the line "Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xc0000000". Then, logged in as root, I ran the command "v4l-config -a 0xc0000000" from the xterm window. Now xawtv works fine although I still get that second warning line about "DGA" support. Slight adjustment needed - the file that needs editing is v4l.conf, not v4l.config, and the framebuffer address is found in Xorg.0.log. Now I can get sound and vision in xawtv (tvtime still doesn't recognise the card, saying it "can't open capture device /dev/video0). There's still something wrong, though, as after a few seconds everything on the screen starts blinking, and I have to shut xawtv down. What could cause that? Anne
