System: FreeBSD kirby.cyberbotx.com 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Mar 18 18:08:05 EST 2006 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CBXKERN i386
Using X.org 6.9.0
>Description:
fxtv freezes and then causes the computer to reboot if it cannot use DGA
for it's image displaying. I attempted to debug it using gdb with a
breakpoint on TVSCREENInit, but gdb ignores this breakpoint and still
freezes after failing to use DGA. Prior to upgrading to FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE,
I was using FreeBSD 5.4-p11 and fxtv would carry over to using XImages with
no freezing or crashing. With FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE, it never even seems to
get to the point where it'll try to use XImages, it freezes and reboots instead.
I've attempted rebuilding fxtv, as well as all the other ports I had installed
after upgrading from 5.4 to 6.1, but that did not help.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install multimedia/fxtv and try to run it in X.org without being able to
use DGA extensions. fxtv spits out 2 messages, which I can't get, because
my system freezes and reboots before I am able to do so. The messages have
to do with fxtv being unable to use DGA. X.org is being run by kdm and I am
logged into kdm with a non-root user.
