OK, I had the same problem with downloaded snapshots from 
http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots. I tried many things, finally I 
downloaded and built libdv-0.104-1.src.rpm from 
http://libdv.sourceforge.net/, then I configured and built xawtv with:-
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-alsa --enable-lirc --enable-zvbi 
--enable-mpeg2 --enable-dvb --enable-arts --enable-xfree-ext 
--enable-xvideo --enable-mmx --enable-dv --enable-quicktime
Now it works great except fullscreen only occupies the centre half of 
the screen, no doubt because of my xorg.conf settings for "Section 
Monitor":-

     # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output.
     # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync
     ModeLine "768x576"     50.00  768  832  846 1000   576  590  595  630

     # 768x576 @ 100 Hz, 61.6 kHz hsync
     ModeLine "768x576"     63.07  768  800  960 1024   576  578  590  616


Regards
Sid.
