Does it run as the same user every time? If you're using /etc/directfbrc 
then the user shouldn't matter.

You need to use the register dump program under Windows. Unfortunately it 
only works under Win9x. http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/~vana/maven/index.html

Note that I did some dumping myself at some point and those are the values 
used by DirectFB. I'm pretty sure that the values are correct so I'm not 
sure why the RGB_EN misbehaves. Maybe we're writing the registers in the 
wrong order...

Do you know if there's some real the difference between composite and 
scart-composite?
