Greetings!
After upgrading to xawtv-3.49, it has been behaving badly. It works well
enough, but it starts up with a black screen that persists for about 10
seconds, but then after I change the channel a few times, **BANG!** it works
like a charm. Here is the output from the command line::
[chas@localhost chas]$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.49, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.5-1mdksmp)

Then it starts working just fine. Bizzar-O, eh? Also, notice where it says:
Xv: ATI Rage128 Video Overlay: input image, ports 46-46
Is that correct?? I'm running a Radeon (and waiting patiently for HW
accelleration to show up in XFree :) )
