I've found many reports that xawtv might cause system instability, some say with overlay others say grabdisplay (in my case grabdisplay). But when i use overlay mode in xawtv then i cannot get a real fullscreen. Tried all the recommended parameters to xawtv to get it to real fullscreen but somehow it doesn't, only in grabdisplay. Now i'm using tvtime and things work perfect (unless i'm speaking too early, but i'll leave it also for the whole night running a heavy load + tv on anyway) I hope some one can comment on these issue's and especially if the bttv code has to do with all this ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
