 Hello,
 I've got some trouble with the bktr-driver on FreeBSD 5.x. With
 fxtv the video-output is distorted and choppy, it appears that
 only odd scanlines are redrawn regularly while even scanlines
 remain for like half a second as ghost images. When the fxtv
 window is overlapped by some other window the video is only
 updated about every 30 seconds. When using mplayer's
 bsdbt848-driver I get an undistorted image but also choppy video.
 I wasn't able to test it with xawtv since it's still broken on
 5.x.
 This is a regression over 4.x, where everything works flawlessly.
 I can reproduce these Problems on FreeBSD 5.0, 5.1, -CURRENT and
 also on NetBSD 1.6.1. So my guess is that this is related to some
 more recent patches which have been applied to FreeBSD 5.x and
 NetBSD 1.6.1 but not FreeBSD 4.8.
 Does anybody have similar problems or does anybody know what
 changes might have caused this problem?

I had a very similar problem a couple of months ago.  I recall that my
problem had to do with the kernel and fxtv being built with different
headers.  Are you building fxtv from scratch on each system or using the
same binary?

Here's the relevant dmesg output:
bktr0: BrookTree 878 mem 0xd700-0xd7000fff irq 9 at device
10.0 on pci0
bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44354 C242
bktr0: Detected a MSP3415G-B8 at 0x80
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1216 PAL FM tuner,
msp3400c stereo, remote control.

Interesting.  I've also seen some visual peculiarities with fxtv lately on
my 5.1-CURRENT box under similar circumstances: if I move windows around,
sometimes video garbage is left behind -- especially alternating
scanlines.  I haven't tried backing out to earlier versions, though, so
I'll give that a try and see if the problem goes away.
