 |I spoke to you a long time ago, and got my fxtv working on the old
 |machine. Installed the other day on my pretty new Dell. Video Card is
 |(from dmesg) 
 |pci1: <NVidia GeForce2 GTS graphics accelerator> at 0.0 irq 11
 |
 |And the BrookTree part from dmesg
 |
 |bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xf4001000-0xf4001fff irq 11 at device 7.0 on pci2
 |
 |Would there be a problem that both of them run with irq 11?, since I get
 |this when trying to start fxtv

Shouldn't be (presuming no buggy chipsets).  My TV card shares an IRQ with
one or two other devices too.  No problem.

 |5$ fxtv 
 |Whoah!  Failed to load font
 |'-adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--25-0-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1' which X
 |'said' it knew about.
 |This shouldn't happen (but does in XFree86 3.9.16).
 |Basically, choose another font or take the default font.

A few other folks have reported this too.  Probably an X locale-related
bug.  Do you have $LC_ALL set?  If so, use this variation on Michael
Nottebrock's fxtv wrapper script to run fxtv:

------ begin fxtv.sh ---------------
#!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL="de_DE.ISO8859-1"
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fxtv "$@"
------ end fxtv.sh -----------------

Of course, substitute your language of choice.  Just make sure the charset
is ISO8859-1.  Alternatively, change the Fxtv AnnotFont resource setting so 
the last part matches the charset you're using in your $LC_ALL.  E.g.:

    Fxtv*AnnotFont: -adobe-utopia-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^
