1) Locate the TV Out chip on the hardware that you have
   - Probably a smallish IC made by Brooktree (BT), Conexant, VIA or 
similar. May be displayed in the driver debug output or source.
2) Find the datasheet for the chip
3) Find the bit that needs to be poked to turn on the WSS signal
4) Add code to driver to turn on signal at the right time

Various assumptions...

- The hardware that you have supports WSS generation
- You can get the specs for the chip
- The framework exists to pass the required info from the app to the chip
- You have the experience to be able to do the steps above.
