[xawtv/NVIDIA problem] I think, the main problem is, that xawtv gets confused by the additional XV-adapter that the new NVIDIA driver (44.96) supports (call xvinfo to see what XVideo-adapters and ports are supported). However, I haven't digged into the xawtv sources, but with a workaround I can still use xawtv with the XVideo-Extension: If the xvideo-port is explicitly selected for xawtv/motv then it does not crash any more. Just add in ~/.Xresources (or wherever your distribution wants to see user-defined X resources) e.g. (the port numbers may need to be changed) xawtv.xvport: 137 motv.xvport: 137
Hope this helps for you as well.
