v4l is an Xorg driver for video4linux cards. It provides a
Xvideo extension port for video overlay. Just add the driver to the module
list within the module section of your xorg.conf file if you want to use
it. There are no config options.
Note that the extmod module is also required
for the Xvideo support (and lots of other extensions too).
The
v4l driver works with every piece of hardware which is supported by a video4linux
(kernel-) device driver and is able to handle video overlay.
bt848/bt878-based
TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.
Please
refer to xorg.conf(5)
for general configuration details. This section only
covers configuration details specific to this driver.
