hello,

cannot start zapping no matter what. bash output :

$ zapping
Segmentation fault
$

the only logged messages i see, are in Xorg.0.log :

xf86CheckModeForDriver: called with invalid scrnInfoRec

every time i try to start zapping (console or menu), i get 7 of these messages, in Xorg.0.log

thx,

dpdt1

Hi,


Could you please run the two following commands:

/usr/sbin/zapping_setup_fb -vv 2> zapping-setup-fb.out
/usr/bin/zapping --debug --console-errors 2> zapping.out

and send me the two *.out files?

It would be also useful if you could provide a stack backtrace generated
by gdb, if you know how to do this (if not I can guide you later).

What tv card do you have installed in your system? Does any other tv
programs like xawtv or tvtime work for you?

Regards,
robert

hello,

i thought it was an xorg error so i removed xserver-xorg-driver-ati and
using only radeon driver now. (ati radeon X300 vga)
rebooting desktop i can now start zapping app normally.
(so maybe you can remove grave status now.)

tv card is a Lifeview Flytv Platinum FM / GO
identifies as :
# lspci
01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors
SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)

with autoloaded mod saa7134.

giving the 2 commands as suggested and attaching files.

1.
$ /usr/sbin/zapping_setup_fb -vv 2> zapping-setup-fb.out
Segmentation fault
$

2.
$ /usr/bin/zapping --debug --console-errors 2> zapping.out

for gdb i can try this guide (?) :
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
but last time i tried, i couldnt get much (xserver error..)  :-)

thanks,

dpdt1.

reassign 617549 xserver-xorg-driver-ati
severity 617549 important
thanks

It looks like a bug in the ati driver for your card, rather than a bug
in zapping.  Zapping works on the framebuffer and it fails with
xserver-xorg-driver-ati when openning the video device:
