Description of problem: Video capture card not working with PV-149. But I have seen other video capture cards also reported as not working. See for this: http://www.mail-archive.com/mjpeg- users.net/msg07044.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: [root@localhost dev]# xawtv -hwscan This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6) looking for available devices /dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ] type : v4l2 name : BT878 video (ProVideo PV150) flags: overlay capture /dev/video1: OK [ -device /dev/video1 ] type : v4l2 name : BT878 video (ProVideo PV150) flags: overlay capture /dev/video2: OK [ -device /dev/video2 ] type : v4l2 name : BT878 video (ProVideo PV150) flags: overlay capture /dev/video3: OK [ -device /dev/video3 ] type : v4l2 name : BT878 video (ProVideo PV150) flags: overlay capture But getting: [root@localhost dev]# xawtv -device /dev/video0 This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6) WARNING: v4l-conf is compiled without DGA support. WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>") ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOC_OVERLAY(int=1): Invalid argument XAWTV does not work. After some investigations I found: It seems to be a FC6 issue. You have to find the framebuffer address under /dev/log/Xorg.0.log. Do a search for framebuffer and you will find the address. The address is 0xF000 0000. One can set it n XAWTV with the command: v4l-conf -a 0xF0000000. Now the question is how to do this adaptation for ZoneMinder? This last step I could not find out and for this reason I would like to have the bug fixed. As if the Framebuffer address is correctly set the last application will also work. Actual results: XAWTV not working. Expected results: XAWTV should start up correctly Additional info:
xawtv is not included in FC6 and Extras. You should report the problem to the Autor please. Thanks
