3dfx TV Tool The others have one, so now we do too.

This is the very first stepstone, not to mention my very first own GTK program,
to get a userfriendly GUI on setting all the settings found on the BT869 chip on the VooDoo3.

Requirments:
------------
Good question, it 'should' compile on any linux without problems, as long as you
have GTK 2.0.2. It might work with an older version of GTK 2, but I developed
using GTK 2.0.2 hence the minimum requirement. Also you need to have a Videocard
using the BT869 chip that creates a '/proc/sys/dev/sensors/bt869' entry or
similar (see the 3dfx_tvtool.h for exact location/configuration) As far as I know
this pretty much only works/exists on the VooDoo3. The kernel module for this is
included in the lm_sensors package. Last, a TV to get all this working on would
be interresting.

Istallation:
------------
simply typing 'make' or 'make all' should get you started and create an
executable '3dfx_tvtool' which you simply run AFTER you loaded the appropiate
modules (if you built it into the kernel (which isn't a bad idea if you use your
tv-out a whole lot) then you don't have to load the modules again).

Usage:
------
Colorbars On/Off: Enables/Disables the colorbars.
TV Out: Enabled/disabled Enables/disables the TV-out function.
TSC/PAL: put the system on NSTC/PAL mode.
Re-apply: 'update' the kernel with your settings in case you did it too fast.
Save: Saves your current kernel settings (all of them) to the default save file.
Load: Loades your default file and applies it's settings to the kernel.
Quit: Quits the application.

Bugreports should go to oliver@are-b.org aswell as any other feedback.
Oh one more thing, if you like this program, contributions can be sent to me
aswell.

Thanks go out to all members of the Collective, but mostly mastex, for beeing a
good friend, phirox for helping me with my basic programming skill and of course mrfloppy,
what more could you ask for.

greets
