Has the combination NVidia and Compiz anything to do with the failing of xawtv? kdetv and tvtime both use every part of my CPU and block any other work on this computer. Are there other small footprint TV programs? With Motv I get the same response as with xawtv.
Just a stab in the dark, but I would un-install all the tv viewer apps, and your TV card. Log off KDE, and sign on again to a FVWM desktop session. Then re-install the card, and when Yast checks for TV applications, ONLY install MOTV. This should keep KDE/Compis from grabbing your frame buffer, perhaps. If your TV then works, you can figure out why KDE is getting in the way...
I suspect, since you have low resources (speed and memory?) that KDE/Compiz is too much overhead, and you might like FVWM better in the long run.
Have looked into otherdesktops but prefer ;). And my solution is fast. Googling brought me a workable solution. NVIDIA has stopped with support for DGA. A solution from an Ubuntu list gave as solution "xawtv -nodga -device /dev/video0" That did not work because Suse addresses the TV cards different. But a simple "xawtv -nodga" did the job. Both with xawtv as with Motv. Running it in a console gave the same protest but at the end TV is showing again. Same problem seems to pop up with camera's and other video stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
