Exactly.  No argument here.  I think the base of the whole problem is
that the matrox framebuffer driver does not put the card into it's true
tv-encoder mode.  I have already asked the g400 guru on the DirectFB dev
list what the possibility of doing the correct register twiddling (i.e.
that he does in DirectFB) in the framebuffer driver itself would be.
Awaiting response.

Right.  This is the real crux of the problem.  I don't really care that
I see a bit more of the picture -- the part that is normally overscanned
out of the viewable area, but it's all of the scaling up and then back
down that goes on that is visually unappealing.  It's that that I have
been unable to find a solution for using X11 and the framebuffer.
