I cannot be NOT excited :) I agree that we should have 720x576 as that
is the PAL mode.

Cool. Fire away and I'll happily test it.

What strikes me is that the 0.2.906 driver DID work but the 0.3.x branch
fails. What has changed between 2 and 3 that makes it look like we (you)

Keep up the good work!
