Not sure if this was added to the FreeBSD driver I know that there is
a version of the Meteor driver floating around which does have it and
I suspect the linux people did the change.

At any rate, Mark or Jim should be able to assist since they know
the SAA 7116 & SAA 7196 so well.

Not sure if it is relevant or not however the Bt848 based card is our low
cost video solution for FreeBSD -- boards run around $100 - $150 .

	Cheers,
	Amancio
