Quick question for ATI TV Wonder VE users

I have an ATI TV Wonder VE. My RedHat system autodetected it and
added the following lines to my modules.conf:

options bttv card=64 autoload=0 radio=0
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=17

It's been working fine for months now, so it's not an issue of working
or not. But I have noticed that the image loses detail in the white;
like the contrast is too high. I seem to remember a thread a while
back about different "card=64" settings up there to fix this problem.
So, if you have an ATI Wonder VE, what kind of settings are in your
modules.conf?

Thanks!
-Mike

You can play with the colour, brightness and contrast in the database
(there are also keys to do that when viewing TV, but there's a delay
between changing a level and seeing the result, that's very annoying). I
manually set contrast and color to 25000 in the database and all is
looking good now.
