Thanks, I'll take a look!

FXTV runs just fine, for short periods of time (I don't have an X display on the
amd64 box, so I run fxtv over the network to a different box's X display.  Not
the fastest :-)).

However, I don't know that FXTV runs in RGB vs YUV mode...  I'd have to look at
the code.

Anyway, it works, I'm happy :-)
