v4l and X

[Franz Reinhardt <fre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have an Epia V board which has an video input port (Trident 
Cyberblade). The appropriate X server loads the video4linux kernel 
module (kernel space), but no hardware driver module. But some of the 
code for the Video input port is done in the X-server (user space). 
This is really weird. AFAIK, with X only these two policies are 
possible:

1. X->videodev.o->v4l_hardware.o

2. X->userspace_hardware_driver

Or is it possible to use the user-space-driver via the videodev.o 
module?

Any comments are welcome.


TIA,

Franz
