Nvidia driver 1.0.8178
>Description:
Even when running fxtv with -disableDirectV, it tries to initialize
some DGA stuff in tvscreen.c. This makes it fail with newer NVIDIA
drivers which are broken w.r.t. DGA.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run "fxtv -disableDirectV" with an NVIDIA driver which has broken
DGA support:
andre@bali:~>fxtv -disableDirectV
X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
Major opcode of failed request: 138 (XFree86-DGA)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL)
Serial number of failed request: 24
Current serial number in output stream: 24
>Fix:
Add this patch to multimedia/fxtv/files. It will disable
DGA stuff completely when -disableDirectV was given on
the commandline.
