I found another tuner app with potential called zapping. Mostly needing gnome stuff, but all dependencies are on our cds. It looks good and has some neato features. I had trouble configuring kwintv, but I haven't given up, and zapping seems a little unstable. But maybe it'll work better than xawtv for you. If this one locks up on you too, then maybe you're right about the irq thing. I always prefer my video card on an irq by itself. My tuner card is sharing an irq with my modem and that works okay, but sharing with the graphics card might cause problems. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/zapping.html Scroll to the bottom of the page and get the source tarball. -s On Sunday 12 August 2001 09:49 am, you wrote: > Okay, Gradio works fine, and I used the Mandrake RPM software manager to > completely uninstall and then reinstall Xawtv, including manually del. the > .xawtv file in my home directory.
