I have tried at 16 and at 24 bpp color depth, and I have tried with and
without DGA enabled. And with and without the v4l module loaded in the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Each permutation so far has yielded negative
results. HOWEVER: With the DGA disabled and the v4l moule loaded, I did not
get the aforementioned errors, just the black window.
Strangely: After a re-boot necessitated by a crash, changes made to
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 were lost. Go figure!
