I think this is the wrong representation, and worse, you are trying to work
around software issues with it.
So to confirm some details, the TVE expects 216 MHz clock, and it expects the
TCON to run and output data at 216 MHz as well. Is that correct?
Would any settings for the TCON differ between when HDMI or TVE is used?
Does TVE and TCON run at 216 MHz regardless of resolution? I kind of doubt it.
It might be expecting 297 MHz for PC resolutions.
I think these kinds of quirks should be handled in the software, instead of
being papered over.
