Likely, you need to run with root permission to use it, or to write an Xorg driver. It is probably easier to get the V4L driver there, that uses the VIDIOC_OVERLAY stuff, and make it work via DMABUF: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-v4l/ In order to test it, xawtv has already the code needed to talk with the v4l plugin. What the plugin does is to export the video board as a XV extension, accessible via xawtv. It currently talks with the display card also via XV, but I believe it won't be hard to port it to work with DMABUF. As the interface between xawtv and the v4l plugin is just Xv, changing the code there from VIDIOC_OVERLAY to DMABUF should be trivial.
