bktr(4) distorted picture in overlay mode

Hi,

I've upgraded my hardware. Now bktr(4) does not work perfectly
as it always did. I've tried two applications xawtv and fxtv.
Both show exactly the same reaction.

The picture in overlay mode is being drawn, but most of the
time only every second scanline. Sometimes the scanlines
in between can be drawn and half of the picture stays on
the screen for a few seconds making it impossible to enjoy
TV. When I keep the window small or pick 320x240 the picture
looks quite acceptable.

Are there any problems with VIA chipsets? I've tried
"options BKTR_SIS_VIA_MODE" but it didn't help.

My kernel settings for bktr(4) are now:
device	bktr
options OVERRIDE_CARD=2
options OVERRIDE_MSP=2
options BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_PAL
options BKTR_NEW_MSP34XX_DRIVER
options	BKTR_GPIO_ACCESS
options BKTR_SIS_VIA_MODE

Relevant info from dmesg:

The bug was reported in kern/56245 for 5.1 and it still persists.
Is there a bugfix available? What else can I try?
