Normally I start xawtv this way:
xawtv -c /dev/v4l/video0 -geometry 770x580-0-0 -xvport 61 & as a normal
user, but I don't know what real time privileges are ?
I haven't modified in any way xawtv :
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 243K Oct 12 09:36 /usr/bin/xawtv

I got the problem under my Mandrake Cooker, and now(due to amd64) I am
under a gentoo-amd64.

Thank you very much for your interest in my problem :-)

Plese keep CC to me as I am not on the LKML (read through NNTP).
