		----------------------------

		What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support
		When: 2.6.35
		Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c
		include/linux/videotext.h
		Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
		for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
		Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
		has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
		that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
		supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.

		In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
		are no applications actually implementing this API.

		The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
		like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
		event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
		provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
		around the sliced VBI API instead.
