I found (or was told on IRC, actually) the solution. You can get the
parameters a module supports using "modinfo", like this:

% /sbin/modinfo dvb-ttpci
filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.20-2/misc/dvb-ttpci.o

<snipp snapp>

parm:        vidmode int

<lot of other params>

So there you go, I hope someone else can find this using the search engine
when they need it. Final usage for me is:


	/sbin/modprobe dvb-ttpci vidmode=2

And the image is just fine. I wasn't too sure about my soldering skills,
but it seems to have worked just fine. :)
