It's more complicated, since the video controller will not support  a
plain framebuffer, but only YUYV video mode.

What happened to the video driver for the EP boards? It was available
once on MV's FTP server - does not even EP has a copy any more?

[Asking just out of curiousity, as we've  already  reimplemented  all
the stuff we needed - no NTSC support yet, though].
