Hi again! One additional bit of information popped up today. http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/problems.html#overlay The tvtime faq proposes using the v4l driver for Xorg, and I discovered that although 'Load "v4l"' was present in my xorg.conf, I didn't have the xserver-xorg-video-v4l installed (probably due to a misguided attempt to thin out the list of packages on my system). After installing the package and restarting the Xorg server, I tried to reproduce the bug (as described in the initial post) and it didn't work (xawtv was using the v4l interface). There was no way for you to know that I wasn't using the v4l module, as I didn't include the Xorg.0.log in my initial post. So it appears the oopses and lockups only happen when the v4l xserver module is not used. And I can finally use xawtv again... :-) HTH Friedel -- Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs <friedel@nomaden.org>
