+Nvtv can enable, activate and configure the TV output of most NVidia cards,
+and some others, such as some 3dfx ones. Nvtv probes and uses the PCI bus
+directly, thus does not need any kernel support, and allows a very low-level
+access to the multiple TV encoder chips supported. Then you have a direct
+control over the registers of the chip, and can use all the resolutions and
+sizes the board supports.
+
+Most of the accesses done by Nvtv need root privileges, and a daemon is
+provided to allow non-privileged users control the TV output of the graphics
+card.
+
+This package uses version 2 of the GTK+ toolkit. If you want to use GTK+ 1
+interface, install graphics/nvtv package instead.
