You don't say exactly which versions you've been trying. I would suggest that you use the latest DirectFB from CVS and the 'linux-viafb' framebuffer, also from DirectFB CVS. On the CLE266, this supports a range of video modes and most have corresponding configurations for the TV encoder that should give you a nice TV picture, whether PAL or NTSC. In addition, there's a 720x576 PAL mode that has no scaling or filtering which gives an optimal output on a 625/PAL/50 TV. There is no corresponding NTSC mode because no-one has done the work to write one. Feel free. This version of viafb certainly does support arguments passed when the module is loaded (you'll need to make 'fbcon' a module and refrain from loading it though if you ever want to remove the viafb module during testing). This route does have some limitations: some of the newer chips are not wonderfully supported but if you really do have the CLE266 as you suggest, and you have the VT1622 or VT1622A TV encoder, you should be able to make things work.
