I installed my WinTV card properly from the kernel 2.2.4 and dmesg shows: i2c: initialized Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv0: Brooktree Bt878 (rev 2) bus: 0, devfn: 80, irq: 9, memory: 0xffdfe000. bttv: 1 Bt8xx card(s) found. bttv0: Hauppauge eeprom: tuner=Philips FM1236 (2) bttv0: audio chip: TDA9850 bttv0: model: BT878(Hauppauge new)
and when I run xawtv from xterm logged in as root or any other user I get: home:~# xawtv this is xawtv-2.19 sh: v4l-conf: command not found v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway DGA: server=1.0, include=1.0 VidMode: server=0.8, include=0.8 available video mode(s): 1024x768 The app-defaults file is not correctly installed. Your fault (core dumped) I did a `find / -name v43-conf` and it returned nothing just as locate and whereis didn't return anything prior to using find
