zapping for Debian ------------------ To resolve some problem with Xfree, I recommend to install the v4l module for Xfree86 4.X Below is a man 4 v4l copy and paste. Christian NAME v4l - video4linux driver SYNOPSIS Section "Module" ... Load "v4l" EndSection DESCRIPTION v4l is an XFree86 driver for video4linux cards. It provides a Xvideo extension port for video overlay. Just add the driver to the module list within the module section of your XF86Config file if you want to use it. There are no config options. Note that the the extmod module is also required for the Xvideo support (and lots of other extentions too). SUPPORTED HARDWARE The v4l driver works with every piece of hardware which is sup­ ported by a video4linux (kernel-) device driver and is able to handle video overlay. bt848/bt878-based TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.
