I've spent literally years trying to get the g400 to look "picture
perfect" under framebuffer/X/matroxset and have never succeeded.  If you
know anything more, I would love to hear about it.

Do you have a modeline that sets a proper ntsc resolution and timing?
720/640x480 @ 59.9 cycles/s?

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  What interlacing?  All I want
mythtv to do is record a signal (interlaced since it's standard NTSC)
and play it back exactly as it would have been sent to the TV directly;
so that means recorded interlaced and played back, interlaced.  Now that
may (or most likely) mean packing two interlaced fields into a frame,
but the video card should display the fields interlaced, one after the
other.

Any pointers on how to set configure all of this (the tv-out part for
the g400) because after many years of searching, I just have not been
able to find anything suitable.
