run fxtv with

fxtv -disableDirectV

FXTV runs in two modes
1) DGA mode. (or Direct Video mode)
A DMA transfer from the TV card to the VGA card.
However, this needs the later releases of XFree86 and some
older S3 cards had problems. It is only used when there are
NO menus pulled down and then NO other windows partly cover fxtv.

2) NORMAL MODE. This mode is enabled whenever another Window partly
covered or has a Menu pulled down. (or does not have DGA eg
AcceleratedX)
fxtv -disableDirectV forces this mode all the time.


Bye
Roger
