NAME
v4l-conf - configure a video4linux driver
SYNOPSIS
v4l-conf [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
v4l-conf
is a small helper tool. It figures out the video mode and framebuffer
base address of the graphics board and configures a video4linux driver
like bttv. This is needed for drivers which can DMA the video over PCI
directly to the into the video memory.
Usually it is not required to use v4l-conf manually, xawtv(1) and
fbtv(1) run it automatically at startup. It might be useful for
trouble-shooting.
v4l-conf
must be installed suid-root.
v4l-conf
knows tree ways to get the informations:
*
Query the X-Server using the XF86 DGA extention. This is the default
if the DISPLAY environment variable is set.
*
Query the framebuffer driver. This is the default if DISPLAY is not
set.
*
Query the console driver. This is used on mklinux only.
OPTIONS
-h
Print a short description of all command line options.
-q
Be quiet.
-d dpy
Use the X11 display dpy to get the parameters.
-f
Use the framebuffer driver to get the parameters.
-c device
Set the video4linux device.
-b n
enforce
n
bpp color depth. Works for switching between 15/16 and 24/32 bpp.
-s n
Shift the video display by
n
bytes.
-a adr
Set framebuffer address to adr. The value should be specified
in hex. This option is allowd for root only. You can't overwrite the
autodetected value, this switch is only useful if autodetect does'nt
work because the X-Server lacks DGA support. You can put this into
/etc/conf.modules, as "post-install bttv ..." for example.
BUGS
Hope I hav'nt any security flaws in there. If you find one, drop me a
note. Mails with patches are prefeared :-)
