Kenneth D. Merry:
 |One other problem I have:  when switch fxtv from ~640x480 (i.e., full size)
 |to ~320x200, or when I exit fxtv while it is full size (640x480 window), my
 |screen shifts one or maybe two pixels right, and one or two pixels down.
 |
 |It more or less wraps around, i.e., the pixels that should be at the far
 |right wind up on the far left.  And the pixels that should be at the
 |bottom wind up at the top.
 |
 |The wrap-around effect goes away when I move my mouse to the far right of
 |the screen, and then to the bottom of the screen.
 |
 |This smells like an XFree86 bug, but I suppose Randall would have a better
 |idea on whether fxtv could be doing something wrong.

Hmm.  Not too sure about this one.  It sounds like it may be related to
something I fixed recently.  Sometimes, when switching video modes
(full-screen zoom), fxtv would ask X to set the desktop viewport origin to
an invalid value.  X doesn't do proper checking, and sometimes ends up
displaying video memory that isn't even a part of your desktop.

I'm fixing to cut a new version here shortly which contains the fix.  So
hopefully that'll do it.  If not, we'll see where to go from there.
