I'm using XF 4.1.0 kernel 2.4.9 and a BT848 tv card with a Voodoo 3 2000 
pci, with everything working OK (finally), hints:

- Do not load the module xv in XF86Config, at least for me it does not work.

- I cannot use heavily GrabDisplay, I can grab individual frames, but if 
I put xawtv in grabdisplay mode X dies and I get a gdm login.

- In xscreensaver >= 3.33 disable the memory limit or the openGL hacks 
will work in software mode (this one took me a while to discover and 
basically managged to drive me crazy).

That's all folks ;-)
