I finally went through the hassle of lugging a monitor to the box and lo and 
behold the picture with xawtv looks perfect!   Doing bttvgrab -> Fine looking 
picture, but EGA red and green instead of the real colors ???  

Well, at least I am very happy, that there seems no DMA problem to be 
invovlved :-)  I guess from here on I just have to RTFM on v4l.

OK, thanks for your help. Guess I have to polish up some programming skills
