xawtv limping along

[slackbird]

I want to run xawtv. I get the video in black and white and no sound.
I want color and sound.

I get these warnings when running v4l-conf & xawtv:

v4l-conf -a 0xD0000000
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support. <<<—-

I added ‘Load "v4l" and Load "dga" ‘ in xorg.conf
Can someone explain the meaning of the warnings and how to correct them ?

I worked out the color problem by using a script which runs v4l before executing xawtv and then adds ‘-c /dev/video0’ to the xawtv command. Also added the DGA via the xorg.conf file.
Still no audio (ran alsaconf to be sure) even tho audio tests OK when I run a .wav/.au file. The setup works on XP but the video isn’t as good. Still needing audio help.
