Did that already, (see my first msg in this thread) and besides my 
wrong nomenclature with regard to the device type, I cannot really 
check this code, since v4l with saa7134 suffers from a more prominent 
problem, as described 2004/10/05 11:40.

Thanks to your effort to bring kdetv's online help to my attention, it 
convinced me to really want it going with v4l. I tried to resolve 
that issue with kraxel, but failed so far to find the guiltier.  

It stalls somehow after displaying two or three frames, because some 
syscalls return with -EBUSY. The question is, does kdetv release a 
wrong order of syscalls (unlikely), or is it a saa7134/v4l driver 
hiccup.

The coloured right stripe xvideo issue can be reproduced with xawtv, 
so it's definitely a lower layer issue.

Thanks for your interest,
Pete
