[Kwintv] kdetv 0.8.7+0.8.8 not working

[Jörg Schaible]

Hello devs,

after installing kdetv 0.8.7 or 0.8.8 I have major problems. After startup
the application mutes the speaker waits for several seconds and dipslay
then an error box that it has problems with the video driver. Selecting a
channel unmutes the speaker and "normally" I hear just noise, the movie
area stay black though. Sometimes I have the proper sound, but still a
black screen and one time I could see the first channel and had sound, but
could not switch to the other channels anymore (neither move nor sound).

The weird thing is, that kdetv 0.8.4 works like charm. I don't know about
kdetv-0.8.5 and kdetv-0.8.6, since they were never marked stable for
Gentoo. Unfortunately I don't know too much about all the possibly
necessary configurations, but since the old version has no problem with the
video driver I don't assume, that my configuration is that bad. What useful
information can I provide?

Here are the logs, when I start kdetv from a console window, maybe you find
the problem:
