 |
|
Hi
On my machine (P4 3Ghz, 1G RAM, Geforce FX 550, TV-Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV Pro) xawtv will not show a picture, I'm just hearing sound. Xawtv says me it does missing drm-support in my xorg. How can I get it? I'm just find this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml but this is for xfree, not xorg.
thanks

be sure to have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
...
EndSection |

S*** I've made a mistake in my posting. I've written it away from my own workstation, and I remembered the error false:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ xawtv -c /dev/video0
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.9-ac15)
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type FontStruct |
It's not drm, its dga. Sorry for this. |

what x server do you use anyway?
edit your x config file. make sure to comment the line out with "omit xfree86-dga", like i did here:
| Code: | Section "Modules"
[...]
SubSection "extmod"
Option "xfree86-dga"
#Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
[...]

I would try the latest tvtime... once you understand the menu, it works superbly. Never did get anything out of xawtv.
regards
