new version can be downloaded under
http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala/kvdr-0.64.tgz
-new feature "Tiny-Sticky-Mode" - it shows a tiny window at all (virtual) desktops always on top and the previous-sized window at its home desktop, to be activated with key "T" -kvdr is now a "KUniqueApplication", meaning it will and can only be started once -some bugfixes with overlay handling as well as positioning and geometry in fullscreen and Xv-Mode

Hi there! Cause of my kvdr is not working (suddenly) in overlay anymore, i wanted to try the new version ... but ...
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
I tried all I can do to get missing packages but none solved the problem I tried to give configure the locations with no change (yes ... the headers were found afterwards :)

Ok, it was the compile option "--enable-mt" that solved the problem :)
Hard to find out ...

Don't know if there is a way to fix this, but whenever configure is run the first time i need to specify full paths like this:
configure --prefix=/usr/kde/3.5 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt/3
I assume, that this is whenever a distribution (in this case Gentoo) has the libraries in a non-standard-directory, i could include a number of combinations, but in the long run, wouldn't that slow down the lengthy configure additionally?
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.
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?
(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).
-
Note: There will soon be another release for kvdr which will print this DGA- error and fix some problems i introduced accidently with the new feature.

Jepp, you're right! I'm using the latest (8178) version of these drivers :(
Would be interesting!
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

Searching the web for this failure reveals that it is an nvidia-problem...
However, they mention there is an README in the (older) nvidia-driver package, that DGA will be removed in a quite strange way as it sounds only "paritally working". Could you have a look at this file if it is helpful on how to live without DGA? Then this could be fixed in the v4l-conf program and anything would be fine again. However - this is the wrong list, its a problem of nvidia in the first and v4l in the second...

I know it is the wrong list ... but let's keep it here (shortly) to stay OT :)
I've found parts where the removing of DGA is announced but none with a tip to live without !? Only hints for using xv instead ... So I went back to an older nvidia-driver and kvdr works in overlay again ... When interested use my email for talking about that problem (so we're keeping the list clean :) cause I'm willing to help getting it fixed ...
