Hi I had similar problem on my computer (RedHat 7.2, FlyVideo II, latest xawtv).
The problem was the /dev/video device. I've found that /dev/video is a directory with some other device files in it, instead of being a symbolic link to /dev/video0. I ran xawtv -c /dev/video0 and it worked. I still see everything in black & white, but that's another problem. I just found (google->man xawtv->I'm feeling lucky) a Mandrake page with some info: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hvcap.html I didn't try it yet HTH Uri Shohet On Thursday 24 January 2002 01:21, Stiven Andre wrote: > Hi list. > > I am using xawtv-3.54-5, I have Flyvideo 98 FM card (bttv) Dist: RedHat > 7.2. > > When I first ran xawtv without touching any configuration files It was > unable to detect any channels, but video input worked with sound but > black/white.
