If you connect VGA out rgb with scart in rgb of a tv and join vsync and hsync 
thrugh 2 resisors of i.e. 120 Ohms to csync you should get a syncronized 
video on the tv screen (after playing with fbset). This should be possible 
with every framebuffer driver supporting tv timings. ctfb does and i810fb 
does it also now. I'm sure, matroxfb and many others do also the job. 
Programming additional registers for a separate video-out is not that 
terrible - the interesting thing here is the interface if you do not like to 
use special ioctls.

see http://www.visuelle-maschinen.de/ctfb/fb/video_in_ct69000/ctvi_0.21/ 
before starting with that - the code fragments may help a little bit.
