Hello, I use xawtv every day in my system, there is a couple a problems that I have found with the ebuilds. If I have xawtv-0.73 installed It doesnt work correctly in kde, gnome or waimea, it works fine in Windowmaker and fluxbox. The problem is when you resize the window, it starts to flicker and makes xawtv unbarable to use. Also xawtv-0.73 has problems when changing channels, for example it flickers, and this creates a lag when changing channels. I fixed the flicker problem by making my own ebuild and using xawtv-3.65. So xawtv-3.65 works perfectly in WindowMaker but still flickers when in kde3, gnome2 and waimea. I wanted to see if this problem was only with gentoo so I tried Slackware 8.1 and Redhat Beta Limbo (7.3.92), both worked fine. Can anyone look into this? here is a link to my .xawtv file and my xawtv-0.65 ebuild. thanks. http://linux.darylstimm.com/.xawtv http://linux.darylstimm.com/xawtv-0.65.ebuild
i cant think correctly, its xawtv-3.73 and xawtv-3.65 sorry about that..
I use xawtv version 3.76 (latest version) and in fullscreen mode I do not have the problem you describe. Besides some minor issues, it is fine. Could you check if your problem still occurs with version 3.76 of xawtv?
Try using overlay mode in Xawtv (~/.xawtv): [defaults] capture = overlay Then load Xvideo in X with the following your /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section "Module" Load "v4l" This fixed a similar problem for me. Its worth a shot.
John, yeah thats how I fixed it too, but I hate overlay because I cant streach the image and I cant take screenshots. Oh well...
