Hi Jean,

you could temporarily remove (or move to /tmp) the xawtv v4l2 plugin,  
I think it lives in /usr/lib/xawtv/. Alternatively, you could  
recompile the driver w/o v4l2 support by editing linux/videodev.h and  
removing the HAVE_V4L2 (such that videodev2.h is not included) and  
then recompile the driver.
