Not exactly. The 'v4l' in your XF86Config loads the XFree86 v4l/Xv module. This module will provide an Xv-implementation of the v4l overlay via X. this is a fancy way of doing very simple display of video on-screen without needing a lot of code. However, your *kernel* needs to *support* your card before X can *use* the card, so you load both the v4l modules (videodev.o, v4l2-common.o, etc.) and the driver module (e.g. zr36067.o or zoran.o, depending on whether you use the CVS driver or the 2.6.x built-in one). Then, your kernel supports your card and X can use it. Hope this makes things clear, Ronald ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
