Dear all,

im going to adapt the X sample server to make use of a frame-grabber card
for the isa-bus as my diploma thesis. The goal is to make the server able
to handle a seperate window, which displays an external video signal in 
real time.
About two month ago i read an article in a german unix magazine, reviewing
the latest meeting of the EXUG (European X User Group). One of the topics
was an extension to the X-protocoll for handling video signals, called
VEX. In case you know about VEX, could you give me some hints to documentation,
conference papers or VEX itself ?

Thank you.
