Hi all. Since I'm not sure whether I should upgrade to 9.0 or keep 8.2 I give 9.0 a try on a small partition. TV works fine except for the fullscreen mode. If I try to switch to fullscreen mode (motv, xawtv) nothing at all happens. I spend the evening reading manuals and faqs without any success. The latest Nvidia driver is installed.
Thanks for your help.

I had some really strange problems with motv and xawtv as well as kwintv. I could get xawtv to work except for full screen, kwintv would start fine, but would never stop until I forcefully killed it and then it left the final image on the desktop. I know that support for kwintv has basically stopped as they more toward qtvision. But I discovered that mplayer will work with v4l and I use it. Full Screen works fine with it. I wrote a simple shell script (included below) that will take a channel number as an argument and will start playing the TV there. It works and wll go to full screen with little or now problem. I am doing this with NVidia 4496 build, but that shouldn't be affected with the latest build. I have been too busy over the holidays to upgrade to latest build yet. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/amixer set "Capture" 5 unmute /usr/bin/amixer set "Aux" 25 capture unmute /usr/bin/mplayer -tv on:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:alsa:forceaudio:forcechan=2:amode=1:chanlist=us-cable:channel=e $1:norm=NTSC:adevice=2 -vc rawi420 -vo xv -stop_xscreensaver -- Kelly L.
