 |
|
hi, i'm trying to use xawtv and xdtv to watch televion, but when the programs start
| Code: | Your X-Server has no DGA support.
WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")[/color] |
.
In xorg.conf commented out the line | Code: | #SubSection "extmod"
# Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
#EndSubSection[/color] |
but with no results...
how can i enabled the dga extension? |

I just added my solution to another thread. I didn't manage to get DGA working either, but I believe it's only needed for the automatic detection of the framebuffer address. It is also possible to check this manually and configure v4l manually.
find the framebufer address
>dmesg | grep framebuffer
vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe4000000, mapped to 0xc8880000, using 2560k, total 16384k
>v4l-conf -a 0xe4000000 # just take over what dmesg says
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
using user provided base address 0xe4000000
mode: 1280x1024, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=5120, base=0xe4000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: configuration done
The above migth help you. You only have to do this once. |

| For me commenting out the "omit xfree86-dga" line in xorg.conf worked. |
