Bug#166515: v4l problem new in XFree86 4.2
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental
Since moving from 4.1 to 4.2, I've found that the v4l program "xawtv"
misbehaves - sometimes drawing a corrupted picture inside the window,
sometimes repeating the image as greyscale spots across the screen (see
http://ccl.bham.ac.uk/~andrew/tv.png for an image). Even if it's
repeated across the screen, you get a normal series of moving pictures,
not just a single image on the screen.
If the image is just corrupted, it's still removed correctly When xawtv
closes. If the image repeats, it isn't - though, of course, the picture
stops changing. The remaining image goes away when you (for example)
move a window over the relevant area.
I'm fairly sure the error is with XFree86, as "fbtv" (TV on a
framebuffer) works fine.
I'd be happy to do any experimentation with the system you'd like to
help in any debugging.
