+When running "xawtv -c /dev/video0" returns errors about the device not
+supporting overlay mode, and the xawtv window stays black, you can try the
+following command line:
+
+xawtv -noxv -remote -c /dev/video0
+
+This will give you a picture, because it disables XV and the overlay.
+The reason for not working with XV extension and overlay may have to do with
+a bug in the Nvidia proprietary driver.
