It depends how much X. Smilie

You could turn the box into an X terminal and front another server, or you could run a minimal X installation. Ironically I count Motif as lightweight these days, don't attempt Kde or Gnome.

Note that Xfree86 and Xorg tend to deprecate older video hardware support, I had an old machine that I had to compile an older version of an X server in order to support it.

       v4l - video4linux driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "Module"
	 ...
	 Load "v4l"
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       Note that the extmod module is also required for the Xvideo support (and lots of other extensions too).

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
       overlay.

       bt848/bt878-based TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.	This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
