Thomas David Rivers:
 |A while back (about mid-December in 1997) - I reported that
 |my Matrox Millenium II and fxtv weren't cooperating.
 |
 |I was getting :
 |
 |   Direct Video not supported by visual...using XImages
 |
 |Now - after I upgraded to 3.0 and then upgraded to the very latest 
 |XF86_SVGA server - and fxtv 0.47 - I find this problem has returned.
 |
 |So - I dug up the previous mail and discovered that I needed to 
 |add -bpp 16 to the X command.
 |
 |I did so... but, I'm still not getting Direct Video.  And Ximages
 |aren't nearly as good as direct writes :-)
 |
 |Is there some new magic I need to perform?

Run:
     > fxtv -debug startup

See if you see:

     XF86DGA not available...X Server isn't local.

just above the visual table.  

If so, try:

     > setenv DISPLAY :0.0                 <-- (csh/tcsh)
     > DISPLAY=:0.0  export DISPLAY        <-- (sh/ksh/bash)

and try fxtv again.

Randall
