It used to work with ffmpeg 0.4.8. If you can't find it I still have it
around.

the v4l device is not created because the "radeon memory controller is
misconfigured", see below. The XVideo extension should be present, so
you could try to use the -xvport command line option to xawtv, but I've
never heard of that working with ati cards for capture.

Hallo!

Thank You for the reply!

Actually, the config.h does not depend on the 2.4/2.6 kernel issue, but
on the 2.6.18+ version number. That header seems to have been
substituted by the autoconf.h header.

There has been done some work on it
(http://osdir.com/ml/video.gatos.devel/2006-12/msg00009.html) - in that
thread I found a modified km module I succeded to compile.

As there is no prepackaged AVview for Debian, I have to compile it
myself. I have some problems there, the compiler is missing some headers
I still have to find out the package they are part of:
xv.c:24:34: error: X11/extensions/Xvlib.h: No such file or directory
xv.c: In function ‘xv_numadaptors’:
xv.c:39: error: ‘XvAdaptorInfo’ undeclared (first use in this function)
xv.c:39: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
xv.c:39: error: for each function it appears in.)
xv.c:39: error: ‘xvi’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Another point in compiling AVview is whether I have configured ffmpeg
correctly.

So I tried to install a AVview from rpmseek manually. The application
starts and hangs with 100% CPU usage.


After loading the km-drivers, I run xawtv where it quits with following
error:
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.21-2-686)
xinerama 0: 1600x1200+0+0

Googling around I found following interesting entry
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/54202 and several
people complaining video-capture did work with Xorg 6.9 but it does not
with 6.8 and 7.0+ ...




Do You have some hints?




Saluti!

You should be able to use TV-in with the stock Xorg driver. That is, you
should be able to connect an S-video or RCA video signal, or a coax RF
TV signal and watch it on your PC. You need an application that is able
to show it, AVview (from the Gatos project as well) should do that for you.

You might be using the wrong Makefile. config.h is supposed to be
included only for 2.4 kernels. Make sure that you use Makefile-2.6 as
your makefile (rename it or copy it on top of Makefile).

The computer I had with a radeon 7500 AGP card died, and now days you
can't get any motherboard with an AGP. So it's been a while since I had
been able to use or compile these drivers. I've been trying to put it
together again, but haven't had much time. The point is I haven't tried
any of this for a while.
