>Environment:
System: FreeBSD kirby.cyberbotx.com 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Mar 18 18:08:05 EST 2006 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CBXKERN i386

	Using X.org 6.9.0
	
>Description:
	fxtv freezes and then causes the computer to reboot if it cannot use DGA
	for it's image displaying.  I attempted to debug it using gdb with a
	breakpoint on TVSCREENInit, but gdb ignores this breakpoint and still
	freezes after failing to use DGA.  Prior to upgrading to FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE,
	I was using FreeBSD 5.4-p11 and fxtv would carry over to using XImages with
	no freezing or crashing.  With FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE, it never even seems to
	get to the point where it'll try to use XImages, it freezes and reboots instead.
	I've attempted rebuilding fxtv, as well as all the other ports I had installed
	after upgrading from 5.4 to 6.1, but that did not help.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install multimedia/fxtv and try to run it in X.org without being able to
	use DGA extensions.  fxtv spits out 2 messages, which I can't get, because
	my system freezes and reboots before I am able to do so.  The messages have
	to do with fxtv being unable to use DGA.  X.org is being run by kdm and I am
	logged into kdm with a non-root user.
