After some time trying i laid the problem aside.
Last week i got a new Graphic card (Nvidia 8800 GTS)
and reinstalled Feisty (kubuntu).

Scince the nvidia-glx-new drivers didnt work for me i installed
the binary driver from nvidia.

xawtv now gives:

This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.20-15-generic)
xinerama 0: 1600x1200+1600+0
xinerama 1: 1600x1200+0+0
X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
  Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-DGA)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL)
  Serial number of failed request: 67

which could be solved by using the -nodga option (xawtv -nodga).

Despite xawtv working i ran into something crazy.
Starting kdetv worked, scanning and everything was fine.
I shut kdetv down, played a bit (imported old settings from my
former install) restarted kdetv and see, the old failure i described in
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2007-March/014742.html
reappeard.

I finally got it working again by playing around with the settings in kdetv,
but cant remeber what i exactly did.

I wasnt able to reproduce this last bug.
