Xawtv wasn't working for me on two monitors. It did work before my nvidea video card upgrade. I don't know why it wouldn't. I edited the XF86Config-4 file to get rid of the one monitor. It didn't work. So I went back to the original XF86Config-4. I noticed I could run the xawtv when I was

I have the same situation with my laptop except it's kernel 2.6.0. The ZAxisMapping was missing from XF86Config and I added it back in. Still no joy. Keep us posted. I was just getting ready to upgrade the kernel on my desktop when I saw your message. Now I'm going to wait. Thanks jgw
