Erich Zigler:
 |Im having some trouble with FXTV and my Nvidia RIVA TNT2 video card. When I 
 |start FXTV I get audio but no picture with FXTV. The picture is completely 
 |black. With my S3 ViRGE card I get visual, and audio.
 |
 |I was wondering if anyone else has had these problems before and what they 
 |did to fix them.

Ok, well on the TNT2, I'll bet you can get a picture using 
'fxtv -disableDirectV'.  What XFree86 version are you running?  And are you
running NVidia drivers with that?  

Chances are DGA isn't quite happy with your X/driver setup on a TNT2.  The
above command disables DGA mode and uses XImages mode.  Check your "startx
-- -probeonly output and see what it says about DGA.  What do you have in
your XF86Config related to DGA?  Also, try "fxtv -debug startup".

FWIW, Matt Reimer reportedly had fxtv working fine on a TNT2 with XFree86
4.0.2 earlier this (err...) last year.  Years ago, Amacio had DGA working
fine on a TNT2 with 3.9.16 using:

     Section "Device"
           Identifier "tnt2"
           Driver     "nv"
           BusID      "PCI:1:0:0"
           Option     "PCI Retry"
     EndSection
