I'm trying, as G450/G550 TVOut hardware support is pure crap, which does
only 1:1 picture to screen, so it is really asking for v4l2 interface
instead of for framebuffer interface. Only problem is that it displays only
card's videomemory, and does only full PAL/NTSC, so I have problems
how to feed data to the videocard fast enough...

What about 'struct timespec' used by nanosleep? It has nanosecond
resolution, so you can timestamp outgoing pixels, if you have such need...
Currently I use from output API only ioctls for setting output
parameters, so I do not think that matroxfb is best example of
output driver.
