Are you trying to look at pornography?  The latest version will not let
you look at that unless you have permission from the U.S. government.:)

I don't know if it works or not with 2.0.5 since I STILL have not
got my subscription CD yet, but in /pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.0 on
ftp.cdrom.com there is an xv-3.10a.tgz that used to work for me,
although my X server was running on a Windows box so I don't know
if that made any difference one way or the other.  There does not
seem to be an xv in the current or 2.0.5 "packages" directories.
