   Great.  I look forward to seeing you test overlay mode. :)  You have a 
24bpp display and already encounter kv4lsetup problems.  It can't get much 
better. :)  The old kv4lsetup is ok because it hasn't changed since then.  
When it does change, I will add it into the build.

   The interlacing problem is probably far worse for you because of the LCD 
display.   I do intend to add deinterlacing code eventually, but not until 
the current plugins are done and fully working.
