R. Lahaye:
|Running fxtv as a regular user does nothing, but COMPLETELY freezing my PC.
Ouch. Ok, first up, make sure you unmount any unnecessary file systems
before running any tests, and run 'sync' right before you try fxtv.
First, a few comments about your kernel config:
|options BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_NTSC
? Consider removing that one. Also, make sure these are there:
options SYSVSHM
options SYSVSEM
options SYSVMSG
# XFree86 4.0 wants these
options SHMALL=1025
options SHMMAX="(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"
options SHMMAXPGS=1025
options SHMMIN=2
options SHMMNI=256
options SHMSEG=128
|device meteor0 # meteor - video capture driver, see meteor(4)
Consider removing this one also. You don't need it for bktr. Whether it
will cause problems if included with bktr I don't know.
After adjusting your kernel, this is the first thing I'd try:
fxtv -disableDirectV
This forces fxtv to pass all video through the X server like a good X app
(no telling the TV card to dump images on the video card directly). If
that works for a while, try it without the option.
