Ahh, now I can see it.

Well... actually, it did: intelfb works very well if a correct mode is
set (a trivial patch adjusting the clock lower limit to 13.5 MHz may be
needed, or one can use the double clock and resolution, or maybe 1:1
pixel aspect ratio etc). It's not about the CH7xxx encoder, the TV is
connected directly to VGA output.

E.g.

# PAL 720x576, 50 Hz, Interlaced (13.5 MHz dotclock)
#
#                               Horizontal      Vertical
#       Resolution              720             576
#       Scan Frequency          15.625 kHz      50 Hz (I)
#       Sync Width              4.296 us        1.280 ms
#       Front Porch             1.000 us        0.256 ms
#       Back Porch              5.370 us        1.600 ms
#       Active Time             53.333 us       36.864 ms
#       Blank Time              10.667 us       3.136 ms
#       Polarity                Negative        Negative
#
#       H:      720 + 14 +  58 + 72 = 864
#       V:      576 +  4 +  20 + 25 = 625

mode "PAL"
        # D: 13.5 MHz, H: 15.625 kHz, V: 50 Hz
        geometry 720 576 720 576 32
        timings 74074 72 14 25 4 58 20
        laced true
        hsync low
        vsync low
endmode

"fbset PAL" is all one needs to use it.

(I know i915 doesn't have interlaced mode support for analog VGA out,
not a problem).
