Yeah, that is trick!

I added, as you said, the lines

  xawtv.xvport:   137
  motv.xvport:    137

to .Xdefaults, run

  xrdb ~/.Xdefaults

and now xawTv-3.88 (using the x-video extension) works together with the NVIDIA 
1.0-44.96/GeForce TI4600.

Right now one question is left. "xvinfo" tells me there are the three adapters

 Adaptor #0: "NV17 Video Overlay"
  port base: 137

 Adaptor #1: "NV05 Video Blitter"
  port base: 138

 Adaptor #2: "NVIDIA Video Interface Port"
  port base: 170

Which documentation covers these three adapters? Where can I found the purpose 
of these three adapters?


Ciao Ruediger
