Hello,

I have a system which is using a frame grabber to show real time video 
from a camera. The system is working fine with a SIS630 graphic chip.
Now I have to change the hardware to a single board computer (SBC) 
PCM-6898 that uses a VIA8604 chipset which has a ProSavage PM133 graphic 
core.
I am using XVideo (XPutVideo()) to overlay the image to the system window.
All I have is a green noised screen. I tried xawtv and I have the same. 
Using the xawtv with  the option -noxv I can see the image.

I think the problem is with the ProSavage PM133 graphics and video4linux 
(XVideo).

Searching for this kind of problem i found this list.

I am using Xfree86 v4.3.0 and tried the driver savage_drv.o version 
1.1.27t with no success.

Using xvinfo the system shows that all the devices are ok. The driver 
for the framme grabber is bttv.

Is there anything that I have to try ? Is it possible to use XVideo with 
the ProSavage graphics ?
I have to use XVideo because I need to hardware scale the NTSC 640x480 
to 800x600.


Thank you ,
Gustavo Haubrich
