Well... I use ATi closed src drivers which are prone to Xv issues, especially
with video overlay. kdetv works fine until I start up xine with -V xv, then
kdetv won't produce a picture anymore until I restart X.

Hm, strange. Got an ATi TV Wonder LE, BT878 chip here. Works in xawtv, kdetw
etc etc, but not in xine (rc4a/ui0.99.1).
XFree 4.3, kernel 2.6.6.
BUT: Whatever I tell xine-ui about analog TV settings, it discards them. how
can I set them manually in config? Don't see any predefined options.
