AFAIR fix->line_length was not set because encode_fix could be called
before the video mode was actually set up. Or maybe because I could not
figure out how to derive line_len from the hw pars.

Anyway, I'll give it a shot - what I need to know is what units line_length
will use - bytes, or pixels?

And should line_length be derived from xres or xres_virtual?

Cheers,
