Have looked into otherdesktops but prefer ;). And my solution is fast. Googling brought me a workable solution. NVIDIA has stopped with support for DGA. A solution from an Ubuntu list gave as solution "xawtv -nodga -device /dev/video0" That did not work because Suse addresses the TV cards different. But a simple "xawtv -nodga" did the job. Both with xawtv as with Motv. Running it in a console gave the same protest but at the end TV is showing again. Same problem seems to pop up with camera's and other video stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
