From a Linspire list I found:

I used this program to fix a configuration problem with xawtv. My xawtv was 
not displaying any video, just a black screen with sound. To diagnose the 
problem, I ran xawtv from an xterm window and observed the following 
messsages: WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support. WARNING: couldn't find 
framebuffer base address, try manual configuration ("v4l-conf -a ") I opened 
up the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log and searched for the term "framebuffer" 
until I found the line "Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xc0000000". Then, 
logged in as root, I ran the command "v4l-config -a 0xc0000000" from the 
xterm window. Now xawtv works fine although I still get that second warning 
line about "DGA" support.

Slight adjustment needed - the file that needs editing is v4l.conf, not 
v4l.config, and the framebuffer address is found in Xorg.0.log.

Now I can get sound and vision in xawtv (tvtime still doesn't recognise the 
card, saying it "can't open capture device /dev/video0).

There's still something wrong, though, as after a few seconds everything on 
the screen starts blinking, and I have to shut xawtv down.  What could cause 
that?
