Hello, I get a strange error/crash of xawtv. After a little investigating, I came out that it might be a problem/bug in the xorg server, or DRI (the failing file is sis_alloc.c) I have a notebook (Gericom webboy) with a sis630 card. I also have the USB Logitech Quickcam Express. I use the correct module for it. It works with gnomemeeting. This is the xawtv error: bash-2.05b# xawtv This is xawtv-3.86, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.9-gentoo-r9) /dev/v4l/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway ioctl: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP (driver="";card="";bus_info="";version=0.0.0;capabilities=0x0 []): Unknown error 515 Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type FontStruct [sis_alloc.c:210]: Failure to allocate back buffer.
you need to add a line to the Driver section Option "MaxXFBMem" "12288" if you aren't using sisfb in the kernel...
CVS version now uses a reasonable default if the option is missing. Closing.
