  This is a test application for the Matrox G400 TV output on CRTC2
under DirectFB.  DO NOT run this unless you have a G400 with TV output.

  You also need:
    - A version of DirectFB with Ville Syrjl's maven and CRTC2 code.
    - Ville Syrjl's kernel patch for CRTC2 VBI interrupts.

    - My patch for DirectFB to return the current field being output.
      http://vektor.theorem.ca/graphics/tvout/
    - A working V4L input source: I have a bttv-supported card.

  This application captures frames from V4L and outputs them to your
G400: a software video pass-thru.  This is a proof-of-concept, showing
we can output high quality video, and write a nifty PVR and stuff like
that.  Woop!

  To get this working:
    - edit the top of dfbtv.c, there are some relevant #define's if you
      want to use PAL mode or something like that ;-)
