Firstly Im curious why you would use video4linux if the sidechannel is wired to the geode and could be driven by X11, is this specifically a design decision that comes about though nanogui (which I'm pleased to see is finding real users more and more now) We do have other folks using these zv-bus and similar pixelstream inputs but so far they have relied on X11 to do the work (indeed in many cases they share registers with normal video ops so you'd go very rapidly mad trying to do the locking). A "Here is what we are adding and why" would be good to read. Mostly though you should talk to Gerd. Video4linux for 2.5 is his ball now, although I keep interfering when I shouldnt Alan
