Normally I start xawtv this way: xawtv -c /dev/v4l/video0 -geometry 770x580-0-0 -xvport 61 & as a normal user, but I don't know what real time privileges are ? I haven't modified in any way xawtv : -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 243K Oct 12 09:36 /usr/bin/xawtv
I got the problem under my Mandrake Cooker, and now(due to amd64) I am under a gentoo-amd64.
Thank you very much for your interest in my problem :-)
