I was wondering if anyone else out there has gotten fullscreen snes9x
working on KnoppMyth, with a PVR-x50 would be a plus. When I try
loading snes9x manually (as root, otherwise I get the kmem error) with
-fs, I get this:

X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
  Major opcode of failed request:  137 (XFree86-DGA)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL)
  Serial number of failed request:  11
  Current serial number in output stream:  11

The little bit I'm able to find about it has to do with the DGA stuff
not being loaded in X. Can anyone confirm this is true with KnoppMuth
V4R5? Has anyone successfully used the full screen framebuffer of a
PVR-x50 w/ snes9x??

Thanks in advance!
