When I have something partially obstructing the fxtv window, it looks
normal. (No screen-door problem, and I definitely see the right picture.)
If I don't have something partially obstructing the window, I either have a
black window (when it first cranks up), or it stays frozen on the last
frame displayed when something was obstructing the window.
After further tests, I can run with the stock 4.1.0 driver, if I have the
Matrox HAL around. The problem there is that my screen looks like a mild
trapezoid. Also, it doesn't fix the DGA problem. The problem is the same
as above.
I am running with the patch that adds the GetVideo call; my fxtv binary was
installed setuid root by the port.
