DESCRIPTION

       v4l  is  an  Xorg  driver  for video4linux cards.  It provides a Xvideo
       extention 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 the extmod module is also required for the Xvideo support
       (and lots of other extentions too).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The v4l driver works with every piece of hardware which is supported by
       a video4linux (kernel-) device driver and is able to handle video over-
       lay.

       bt848/bt878-based TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please  refer  to xorg.conf(4) for general configuration details.  This
       section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
