About your problem with no more overlay-mode, i had a conversation about this with someone else, and it turned out he uses the "latest NVidia-Drivers" and this is the problem.
Jepp, you're right! I'm using the latest (8178) version of these drivers :(
These drivers do (no longer???) support DGA and dga ist required to detect the framebuffer-adress, at least all programs i know of use DGA to do so. This is, that v4l-conf is used to set the framebuffer-adress for any overlay- displaying software and it complains about missing DGA-extension. Is there a proposal that DGA is a depricated feature or how can this happen?
Would be interesting!
(It turned out, that xawtv does an automatic fallback to xv-mode in such cases, so it is not that obvious sometimes.)
You can test this problem by running v4l-conf manually in a console. (Eventually your v4l-conf binary is not suid-root, this is another cause for no overlay been shown when kvdr run as non-root user).
Kvdr did always run with user-rights!? Here's the output of v4l-conf:
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0 dga: version 2.0 X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 137 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL) Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 13
