|If you go with Accelx you will lose dma to dma PCI transfer which currently |fxtv exploits very nicely . That aside there is nothing in the bt848 |driver which should interfere with your X server, i.e., there are no |X servers hook . One other (albeit much less significant) piece you'll lose by moving over to AccelX: In addition to the DGA extension, which Amancio mentioned, AccelX also doesn't support the XFree86 VidMode extension. So fxtv won't do on-the-fly video mode switching and viewport setting so that full screen video really is "full screen". You'll have to manually flip modes down/up to 640x480 with the X mode hot keys (assuming AccelX supports this), and move your cursor around to scroll the desktop and get the video window centered on your screen.
