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.
