I can confirm that this issue still exists (I have Kubuntu Hardy, ATI X300)
Commands like: xawtv or v4l-conf cause "black screen". After switching to another console (alt+ctrl+F1) and back (alt+ctrl+F7) I see my screen again and console output like: ..# xawtv This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.24-22-generic) xinerama 0: 1680x1050+0+0 /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type FontStruct ioctl: VIDIOC_G_STD(std=0xb7852ae0b7d58450 [PAL_I,PAL_D1,PAL_Nc,?,SECAM_B,SECAM_G,SECAM_K,SECAM_L,?ATSC_8_VSB,ATSC_16_VSB,(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null)]): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument There is a lot of other people having same effect: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763607 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+question/53703 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-v4l (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- PWC Webcam (Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere) does not work well in Gutsy but worked in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
