I  have checked the CentOS-6 rpm resources but did not find anything
mesa nouveau related. I do have a bunch of mesa packages installed, though.

Yes. xawtv works with nv driver, but not with nvidia proprietary driver
or the nouveau driver CentOS-6 has. I can live with that since I can
boot into any of these installations. The only problem with the nv
driver boot is that it cannot fully utilize my 24" LCD display - which
is OK. It looks like the CentOS nouveau driver is more stable than my
highly customized - and probably bugged up - Fedora-3 installation. So I
was happy to find CentOS-6 that works on my old 32-bit machine and has
the nouveau driver. Apparently the dri-vieux is missing somehow.

Strangely, I encountered the same problem when I updated the CentOS-6
according to its requirements, which included a firefox update. Now
firefox would not start because of the missing dri-vieux. So I reverted
back to the non-updated version of CentOS firefox, and it works again. I
will do some further research on a CentOS forum. Maybe that will fix
xatv as well. I'll report on it - thanks.

Hallo

The name of the missing so: nouveau makes me think that libgl tries to 
load something mesa related. I have the file on my opensuse in the RPM 
Package: Mesa-dri-nouveau

(Mesa DRI plug-in for 3D acceleration via Nouveau)

Maybe CentOS has also a package that provides the library.

When I remember correct you wanted to used the original nvidia driver. 
And for some strange reason the system want's now to load the mesa 
driver and not the nvidia driver.

Yes, I've tried them, none made a difference. In fact when I logged off
(restarting X-server) the machine crashed. The nvidia driver may not be
very stable on my machine.

Other, related: I installed CentOS-6 (latest available RedHat distro for
a 32-bit machine). It does have the nvidia equivalent nouveau driver,
correct screen resolutions, and has not crashed yet. This is somewhat an
updated version of my old Fedora-3 system that I heavily customized.
xawtv works well if I boot to that system. So I tried tocompile xawtv on
the CentOS, but make ended up in error. See below some relevant info:

xawtv-3.95

./configure --enable-alsa --enable-gl --with-x

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating xawtv.spec
config.status: creating config.h

Re: [Mjpeg-users] capture card not working with nvidia driver

2019-10-04 Thread Bernhard Praschinger

Hallo

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.


I'm just guessing but could it be that the nvidia driver expects a 
different format or calls so it displays the video ? When you write that 
you had problems with the drm and framebuffer modules, I guess that they 
expect different API/Header/calls. Did you try a different xawtv version ?


Did you try the different options xawtv offers ? (-fb, -xv/-noxv, 
-dga/-nodga and others )


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
