Description Brett Simpson 2002-07-06 15:12:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)

Description of problem:
  I have a problem where the bttv module will not work in combination with 
onboard ATI video.  The onboard ATI video card works fine but I get nothing 
from the encoding card. If I use a Cirrus logic PCI video card the bttv module 
works fine with xawtv.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use a Compaq Proliant server with onboard video.
2.Use a Osprey 100 video card.
3. Open xawtv.	

Actual Results:  You will get a blank screen in xawtv.

Expected Results:  Disable onboard video and use another pci video card.
Xawtv will now display the video that comes in on the encoder card.
