I don't have any problems watching TV with xawtv on either an AIW 128 Pro or an AIW Radeon 7500. Try starting it once with the -xv switch to force it to use XVideo. If that doesn't work, you might have to hand-edit the config file (my AIWs are at home so I can't tell you what to change right now). You won't be able to capture, though. Gatos only provides an XVideo interface for FreeBSD, and you cannot capture via XVideo - only overlay. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
