Symptom
While executing kwintv crashes the system resp. appears the KDE
crashmanager.
Cause
It seems to be the 3d support that causes the crash, this phenomenon comes across in case of several ATI graphics cards.
Solution
Deactivate the 3d support with sax2 or remove the modules which are used
for 3d support manually as follows:
e.g.:
pico /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
Load "speedo"
Load "dri"
Load "type1"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Remove the entries:
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Save the file XF86Config and restart the X Server to reassume the changes.
After that kwintv should run properly.
