XAWTV Can't run...


I am using Fedora 14 (64 bit version)

Can't start XAWTV. Returns this error:

$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.99.rc6, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64)

Since you're using Xinerama, try "xawtv -nodga" to disable dga and see what you get. Might also want to try Kaffeine.
