    Hi,

    I have Debian unstable+testing, with my own kernel kompiled using
    make-kpkg (2.4.20). I run XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 with 'nv' driver.
    Xawtv gives me this output:

    -----
    This is xawtv-3.72, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20timothy)
    WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
    WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
             configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")
    ioctl: VIDIOCCAPTURE(on): Nepřípustný argument
    ioctl: VIDIOCCAPTURE(off): Nepřípustný argument
    -----

    So I tried to use suggested "v4l-conf -a <addr>". It should set address
    of framebuffer of X server. In my /var/log/XFree86.0.log I found line

    (--) NV(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xCC000000

    But that address could not be set:

    timothy:~# v4l-conf -a '0xCC000000'
    ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument
    timothy:~# v4l-conf -a 'CC000000'
    ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument

    Can anyone say what is going wrong? Thanks,

    David
