Greetings!
I've read the entire archive and have seen similar problems, but none of
the solutions seem to work.
My system:
dual PIII-500 with 640MB RAM (640 MB ought to be enough for anyone)
nVidia Riva TNT2 AGP Video card.
ancient bttv (Hauppauge WinTV from 4 yrs ago)
RedHat 7.3 running KDE
xawtv works great, video, audio, and tuner work.
mythtv doesn't show any video but I can hear TV audio. It just sits there
waiting for me to hit ctrl-C.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I've appended the output of xvinfo and xawtv -debug 2
Thanks!
Anton
