FYI
I have found in the past that I have trouble with
xawtv if I don't have a .xawtv file for it to read.
So after re-installing LM9.1rc2, I ran scantv (NTSC,
US-CABLE) and made a .xawtv file from its output.
Scantv seemed to work fine and detected all the
channels it should have.
I tried xawtv -remote (I have found in the past that
the -remote option will work, whereas if I just run
xawtv, the system will crash). xawtv displayed a
black screen, but the audio was fine. I could switch
channels and the audio would switch, but still no
picture.
Then I tried xawtv -noxv as you asked. For a nano
second, I saw a picture and heard sound, and then the
system crashed and locked up with a bunch of blue and
white vertical bars on the CRT.
After rebooting and fixing the root partition during
bootup, I tried xawtv -remote -noxv (not knowing if
this even makes sense). Again I saw a black screen
and heard audio. Then when I tried to change
channels, the system crashed and locked up again.
What next?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
swap.

I did an expert install of Mandrake-Linux 9.0 beta3 after downloading the
iso's, verifying the md5sums, and burning them on 700MB CD-RW's. I've tried
autodetect for the card and tuner. I've tried selecting Zoltrix TV MAX from
the list. I've tried Temic type NTSC (4032 FY5) (which is what I think my
tuner is (type=6 option to module tuner))and type Temic (4036 FY5). (I'm
positive my tuner is a Temic NTSC model.) First of all the scan for channels
finds nothing, and then after xawtv starts within less than a minute the screen
either goes all white, or has white and blue vertical bars and the system is
locked up and I have to reboot. Before the system locks, the xawtv display is
mostly black with with some horizontal white traces running through it (i.e. it
looks like static) I must say, I have gotten xawtv to run on a variety of
distributions, Caldera, Mandrake 7.0. Redhat 6.2 so I believe my hardware
is good. It works fine under Windows 98. I must also say, my results
with xawtv have varied from time to time too. Sometimes I've had the
same problem with the above mentioned distributions.
