 |Great. Glad I can help.
 |
 |Also, I tried to run FXTV over the network from another FreeBSD box
 |running X but it failed.
 |
 |Should FXTV be able to handle this? I got errors regarding
 |the Shared memory when I tried.

Yes, this is one thing I have fixed in my development tree of 0.47.  0.46
and prior versions don't test to verify they're talking to a local display
before trying to use shared XImages or DGA for frame transfer.  In this
case, standard XImages should be used.

I can provide a patch to 0.46 to fix this if you'd like.  Let me know.
