Hello everyone, My older machine with a cheap bttv capture card works well with nv module driving GFORCE 2 MX card. Framebuffer and tiny penguin at boot up shows, xawtv, glav, etc. works well for video capture and editing. Recently I installed the proprietary nvidia driver (92.43.23). I had to recompile the kernel (2.6.32.71) because the nvidia driver conflicted with the kernel's drm and framebuffer modules. OK, now I have the full capability of my 24" LCD display with the nvidia driver; AGP is fully functional and glxgears runs fast. However, video capture is not possible anymore: xawt screen is blue, but the setup screen lacks sections starting with video source. I can play existing video files, just capture capability is dead. So now I made my machine to dual boot with nv driver or nvidia; I also switch xorg.conf at boot via rc.local by sensing kernel version loaded.
I'm writing to this forum with a hope that somebody has some idea how to make nvidia proprietary driver to work with video capture card. Maybe I should go to some nvidia forum, but I trust the expertise of those who follow mjpeg-users bulletin board. One more info: the sysrcd-5.0.0 with 4.9.24 kernel works on my machine; it loads the nouveau driver, screen resolution is identical with nvidia driver. I tried to compile 2.6.33.1 kernel from source (the first kernel that has the nouveau driver), but could not configure to include the nouveau module. I thought that with the nouveau module, instead of nvidia driver, capture would work again. Thanks for your attention - Janos
