cat << EOF
-The XOrg Foundation, (a.k.a. X.org) has changed to an Open Source model to
-maintain the official Public Implementation of X11.
+v4l is an Xorg 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 xorg.conf file if you want to
+use it. There are no config options.
-The XOrg Foundation invites anyone who has an interest to join in. Anyone
-may create and work on a branch in the repository. See XOrgRepository for
-more information about the XOrg Foundation repository.
+Note that the the extmod module is also required for the Xvideo support
+(and lots of other extensions too).
-The repository consists of an imported XFree86 tree that is very close
-to their 4.4 release. Just before its 4.4 release, XFree86 adopted a
-new licensing scheme incompatible with the GPL. For this reason, we have
-recreated its tree as closely as possible without importing files affected
-by the new license. Our tree is being referred to as simply "XOrg", and a
-public release will be made shortly.
+SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The v4l driver works with every piece of hardware which is supported by
+a video4linux (kernel-) device driver and is able to handle video over-
+lay.
+
+bt848/bt878-based TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.
