While on the subject of FXTV, do you (or anyone else) have the problem 
that the X screen gets corrupted _before_ the TV window is placed on 
the screen?

The corruption looks like vido data that is being placed directly onto 
the screen (before twm has a chance to place the final window), except 
that only every second line is seen.

Once I have placed it on the screen, it works just fine, barring the 
_very_ occaisional hang. (Which could be audio- related).

I start fxtv like this:

#!/bin/sh

fxtv -inputFormat pal -antennaChannelList 21-68 -antennaFreqSet weurope -defaultInput tuner -contrast 60 -brightness 45

...and I run X in 16 bit mode. It is reported like this in xdm-errors:
