Nicholas Esborn: |I've had this fxtv beta lock up my X server a couple of times now. I can't |even switch to a console VTY. The machine is still running, but I have |to log in from another workstation and kill the X server. Killing fxtv |doesn't release the X server. | |If you can think of any actions I might take to record the state of the X |server when this happens, I'll send the results along. | |It does work quite nicely though. Fast and well-synchronized. Sorry to hear about that. What's your setup look like (motherboard/chipset, video card, XFree86 version, FreeBSD version)? I'd be willing to bet this is gonna be related to DGA. You might try (after a "sync") running "fxtv -disableDirectV". That tells it to stop blasting images onto the frame buffer directly, but pass images through the X server like a good X app. See if that works around those lock-ups. I'd like you to be able to run fxtv if you can. Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
