I don't know if that matters, but I notice something that could be
interesting in xawtv's output:

# xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.17-1.2187_FC5.custom1)

X.org is running w/ ATI's fglrx video drivers. According
to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the XVideo, XFree86-DGA modules are initialized, as
well as fglrx's DRI and VideoOverlay features.
