I agree that the audio errors are probably not
relevant to the video problem.

Since my first post I have tried to run xawtv.  It
also does not display video and I get the following
messages from it.

# xawtv -debug 1

.

The "Xvideo: no usable video port found" message would
seem to indicate a video driver problem.  I am using
Winischhofer's SiS driver with the SiS 650 chip that
is the video onboard my Shuttle FS50.  However the
"/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support" message
points maybe to something related to ivtv.

Has anyone gotten this particular hardware combination
to work?
