Hmm, the drivers in drivers/media/video/ usually do video _capture_, although some of them also support video output using the v4l2 API. The other video-out drivers are the framebuffer drivers in drivers/video/. The BT869 seems to fit none of these categories through, seems to be neither a video4linux nor a framebuffer driver from the description, it seems to just export some config stuff via /proc. What exactly does the BT869? Handle the TV-out of the voodoo3? What is the point of that driver? Any reason why this couldn't simply be done by the X-Server which drives the voodoo3? Is it somehow related to the voodoo framebuffer driver maybe? At the moment I somehow miss the big picture, the driver alone looks pretty useless to me ...
