BTW, after doing all pending updates to my (newly-upgraded) f11 system, 
I was able to get good video from /dev/video0 -- only thing wrong was 
aspect ratio (looked to be 1:1)...

Also, when catting ...standard/cur_val, it used to say "none" before i'd 
set it to NTSC-M -- but this time, it said NTSC-M after boot, all I had 
to change in /sys was the input (to composite).

I'll still play with it, will try with vlc (which almost worked before, 
but showed up as pal, even when the standard was specifically set to 
NTSC)...
