sine i am using 2.2.12 i had no permissions to write on /dev/mem
i belong to the group kmem who has +rw on it i cann't write
when i chown it the user cann't still write on it
only root can??
was it a security bug or so??
i used this for xawtv in fullscreen

sorry for my bad english!!!
ps.: i searched in rhe archives but didn't find anything about it°
