I have not been precise. When I try to run qtvision or xawtv my X server 
freezes and I have no way to get any log or backtrace, just to restart.
I will try to ssh in from a different machine to see if really the X server 
crashes, or it is an kernel oops, but I will have to do some setup before.

No. The Xv driver crashed. So I have not even tried v4l. I suspect that this 
is a kernel issue.

Thanks for your help
