Some people report xawtv segfaults with glibc 2.1
(got success reports too).  I don't know what the
reason for this problem is.  From the stack traces
I've seen so far, I suspect it is a glibc bug or
some incompatibility between glibc and the X11 libs.

I've got one report that upgrading the X11 libs from
3.3.2 to 3.3.3 fixed the problem.



fbtv seems to have some problems with console
switches from time to time.  I've added some debug
code, you can ask for a log with "fbtv -v 2>~/log".
If you have trouble with console switches, drop me
a note (with a log included of course).
Console switches should look like this:

=> switch to another console <=

vt: SIGUSR1
v4l: overlay off
vt: release

=> switch back to fbtv <=

vt: SIGUSR2
vt: acquire
v4l: overlay win=1000x752+24+16, 0 clips
