  The G450 and G550 are different from the G400.  There is some work in the
kernel on TV output with the G450 and G550 by Petr Vandrovec.  See:

  I don't know how well it works.  Ville Syrjälä was doing some blind coding
attempts to find out more about these cards in DirectFB but I don't think
anyone has really played much with it yet.

  I have some discussion on quality and TV output here:

  updates and clarifications welcome of course..
