Ahh, ok. I've seen this too. In some X servers for some cards, the
viewport extension doesn't work too well. Fxtv tells the xserver correctly
AFAIK but the xserver sets the viewport off into space somewhere. I saw
this with my G200 on 3.9.16 IIRC.

I don't think this is Fxtv. I don't have a stand-alone test pgm for this
though. Easiest way to test would be to change:
vport_api_works = VERS_SAME_OR_NEWER( s->vmode_majv, s->vmode_minv,
0, 8 );
to:
vport_api_works = 0
in tvscreen.c and see if that works better (no recentering, but no blank
screen).

Hmm. Maybe. Compare:
X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h
X11/extensions/xf86vmstr.h
between the two versions.

Cool, thanks! I'll merge it in when I get some time.
