The Playstation is known to do very funny things with the video signal,
especially it sometimes generates non interlaced signals and this screws up
the video DMA. Please try to load the saa7134 module with the additional
option "noninterlaced=1". This should do the trick since it forces the
odd/even bit to toggle. We might decide to make this the standard setting.
PLease don't forget to report the result.
