UPDATE:
I got it working so that I can now scan for channels. Xawtv properly
recognizes the scantv output.
However, I still can't get video. When I choose a channel I get the
following error message:
<msg>
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.27-7-generic)
xinerama 0: 1680x1050+0+0
WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display.
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to
type FontStruct
</msg>
So I googled for DGA, and suspected I may not have privileges to use DGA, so
I tried running as root but that didn't work either.
When I change the channel I get the following error message:
<msg>
no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-)
no way to get: 128x96 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-)
</msg>
I suspect that this error may relate to my 8800 GT graphics card.
Some additional info:
Doing a hardware scan:
$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.27-7-generic)

Please help.
