Hauppauge Win/TV ISA

• Adding support for Hauppage Win/TV board and VideoText decoder,
  

  Experimental pre-pre-pre-beta

  After playing a little bit with the registers here's the first experimental code. Use of your own risk, I'll not warranty that anything will work properly nor will damage your hardware as well as your software!

  Linux code
  MS-DOS code, not Windows
  Patch to correct an error in the I2C part by Tim Seipold

  For all tries, initialize the Win/TV card with the original Hauppauge software, then shutdown windows and start Linux/X11. Unpack wtvxxxx.tgz and goto the vproc-1.0/ path. After compiling you should get a vproc.o and a tv. Create a device by make dev, then insert the vproc.o module and run tv. Open a window (e.g. a xterm) with white background. Inside the white area you should see a tv-picture. The picture will appear only inside a fixed rectangle (display-window) AND a matching color-area (spezified by the color-key).

  That's it so far. Play a little bit around with it.

  What's to do?

  1. save control of the registers
     
  2. handling the i2c-devices, seems to be solved by Tim
  3. save initialization
  4. controlling the tuner
  5. writing a front-end
  6. adapting the video-text driver
  7. capturing still images
  8. capturing live video (the chip seems as if it can)
  9. using it :-)
