it would be nice to support 720x576p@50Hz. Note that PicoDVI supports
these first two, but not the @50Hz one.

+The video-in socket is single-link DVI-D using an HDMI-style physical
+receptacle. This makes it able to receive video from both
+DVI-D-compliant sources and from HDMI-compliant sources; though it is
+itself **not** HDMI-compliant. It supports the following resolutions:
+ - 640x480p @ 59.94/60Hz
+ - 720x480p @ 59.94/60Hz
+ - 720x576p @ 50Hz

+> the additional 2 pins are optional "CEC" and "Utility" pins. HDMI
+> starts talking as DVI-D, and enables additional non-DVI
+> functionality based on the exchanged E-EDID device descriptors.
+> That is: Compliant HDMI devices must work with DVI devices as long
+> as they have an overlapping set of supported resolutions.

+> Additionally, compliant HDMI sources are required to support at
