This works great om my FreeBSD desktop (sorry, SMP). One thing is
quite funny though. The TV card (run with fxtv) is determined to run
on both X servers, when started on one. It cannot be killed on the
second one. It has the same size as on the first, on which it was
started, minus the control section at the top. When it is moved on the
first server, it 'forks' itself on the second. I mean where it was on
the second server it still is, but frozen and the moving image is on
the new spot. This can be done multiple times. Might be quite useful
for making screenshots :-))
Frozen images remain on the second server after the card program is
killed. I can remove them by moving an xterm over it and closing that.
Things work out similarly when the tv card is started on the second
server.
