I have the Quickcam with the PB0100 sensor, and (i guess like every1) i get these 'No overlay support' wornings and messages.
I dont suppose there is a way to make xawtv think there IS and overlay support ... (such as a dummy server), is there?

Hi!
I find a solution, I dont know yet if it is working, but I hope (got from Gerd Knorr).
In v4l-conf.c, put the code below in comments, now there wont be "No overlay support" message anymore and v4l-conf will run til it's done.
If it complies with app-defaults error when trying to run xawtv, look if the app-default files of Xawtv are in the good directories : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
For now, I got just a black screen and I have to go with further investigation. If someone knows what is my problem, help will be appreciated. I have xawtv 3.34 on arm-linux but compile without libXv.a and libpng.a, maybe this is the source of my problem....
