DESCRIPTION

       Output mMatrox card video to television. PAL 50Hz and NTSC 59.94Hz are
       supported, Composite and S-Video output.

       Contains two demoprograms, normal and swapped. First selects CRTC1 on
       first output and CRTC2 on second one. Swapped connects CRTC1 to
       secondary head and CRTC2 to primary head. You can use these programs if
       you need text mode or 8bpp mode on TV, as CRTC2 is incapable of these
       modes.

       In program call, If VALUE is specified, set the specified option to
       VALUE. If VALUE is not specified, retreive the value of the specified
       option.
