Yes its 2009, and I realize I need a 2009 driver, but the forum you said to check out was a 2007 post and that was probably why my xorg conf had a later version already installed because I doubt that 2007 post had 9.04 Ubuntu in mind.
All smartass remarks aside...
I don't understand why I have to search for how to install drivers in Debian to do it for Ubuntu, is there really so little support for Ubuntu that we have to search another operating system? Also I have only been using Ubuntu for 2-3 days, so I don't know exactly how to find out where my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is or I would provide that.. I'll try a search for the xorg.conf and see if that file comes up on my computer.

V4L(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual V4L(4)
NAME
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.
