Thanks for the background. Firstly Im curious why you would use video4linux if the sidechannel is wired to the geode and could be driven by X11,
As I've said before, nobody is going to use X11 in a settop box (okay, it's been a year since I fought and lost this battle). What gets installed in the home must cost less than $200, or the cable companies won't buy it; a machine capable of providing X its resources doesn't fit the budget.
That means we have a big gaping hole with V4L & Frame buffer API's thruput and output, when the hardware combines the capture, frame buffer, and overlay; we have an API for the capture, and bits and pieces of the rest.
