Hi again,

I've some improvements on this. I didn't get a reply yet, & don't think i 
can succeed on myself.. Anyway, hope someone will get on it for me soon.

Here's what i've done :

- I think i need DGA support _or_ framebuffer driver working. Not both. Am 
i wrong?
- I enabled DGA support. Both Kwintv & xawtv stopped complaining about dga 
& Framebuffer address.
- Now xawtv shows some horizontal lines on whole screen. (Not only inside 
the xawtv window) It seems to display the tv channels tiled, in a very bad 
quality.
- I can change the capture setting from overlay to grabdisplay, and then 
displaying in the window goes fine. But performance is very bad. Sth like 
slow-motion. It crashes when i make it full-screen. And when i change the 
channel, it goes again to overlay mode..


So, can anyone tell me what my problem is?

TIA,

Hi,

I've a set of problems, which i guess are related.

I use Suse 8.1 with XFree86 4.2.0, on an IBM Netvista machine. It has 
Intel 82810a graphic controller chipset on it. The problems are explained 
below. I also included parts from Sax.log & XFree86.0.log at the bottom.

TIA,

1.
When i try to make a Sax config. Sax sees my monitor & video card 
undefined. When i click Finalize at Sax, it says :
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
I get this error everytime, even if i do no modification.

2.
When i start KWinTV, these errors occur :
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
         configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")
I can scan & find channels, i can hear sounds correctly, but can only see 
a black screen on each.

3.
With xavtv, it's the same. Sounds ok, but screens not. Xawtv gives these 
errors :
This is xawtv-3.76, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.19-4GB)
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
         configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")

valid choices for "input": "Television", "Composite1", "S-Video"
ioctl: VIDIOCCAPTURE(on): Invalid argument
ioctl: VIDIOCCAPTURE(off): Invalid argument


4.
I try v4l-config to solve this framebuffer thing, but it gives these 
errors :

v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=unknown
