Hi!

Iīve found a bug, but I donīt know if itīs related to xatv or to the
Kernel (modul bttv?).
Itīs easy to reproduce it:

1) start xawtv with the Option "-x" [xawtv -x] [and root privilegs]
2) switch to fullscreen mode
3) change "Capture" from "Overlay" to "Grabdisplay"
4) change TV-Norm from "PAL" (=standard here in Austria [Europe]) to
"SECAM"

Then my whole system freezez or crashes, Iīve tested it three times and
every time it happend again!

thank you
richard

System:
SuSE 6.2 with Kernel 2.2.12 / v4l and bttv (both as module)
Hauppauge TVWinPCI with bt878
Pentium II 350 Mhz
glibc 2.1

Perhaps this infoīs about my TV-Cards are useful:
