The "v4l" module is working perfectly. If an application complains because of a lack of a YUY2 XVideo surface, this is a problem with your video card driver (ATI) not providing a YUY2 overlay surface, and has nothing to do with the v4l module. Make sure the X driver you're using for the 3D Rage Pro supports YUY2 overlay surfaces. In tvtime I will make sure my error message is more helpful in future, as it seems there is some confusion between the role of v4l style XVideo modules, which provide video to the X server, and overlay surface XVideo modules, which provide memory buffers where applications can upload video. tvtime, for example, does use the "v4l" X module for anything. -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
