Hi Jean,

I haven't heard this before, although I regularly hear people  
complaining that update X caused this or that to break, where X is  
any update any this and that means any function that is any feature  
implemented in the driver. I don't know why it is so breakable, or  
maybe it isn't and it's just being used widely in the wild and people  
are having random problems on random configurations like is the case  
with any piece of software.

But back to you, I haven't heard this one before. It is well possible  
that X broke it, since xawtv defaults to doing overlay through X. To  
get around that (and skip the whole X codepath), you'd use xawtv - 
noxv. Have you tried that, and did it make a difference?
