The 1.6 patch won't apply due to -pn problems, so I did it by hand.
It now builds and installs ok, but tvtime is still dead, taking about 
5 seconds to open its initial window, and another 15 to display just 
the channel and time on a permanent blue screen, with its time 
display only being updated about every 3 seconds.  Audio works ok.
Clicking on the exit also takes about 5 seconds for it to quit.
Running it from a shell with the -vv doesn't show any problems that 
look like showstoppers:

------------
And unless the diff between 640 and 768 is the problem, there isn't 
much else to go on there.

Since this involves x, its xorg-6.8.1, locally built, and so far (4 
months?) absolutely dead stable.
