(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.
