Hmm, can't you paste the content directly into the wiki page, they're 
pretty small.

I'm not sure. You really need to use the xc3028 driver from linuxtv.org, 
but I don't know where that firmware is - or can be downloaded from.

Mauro, any comments here?

Yes, cx_write(GP0_IO, 0x00070004) should be fine.
