List is right AFAIK. In my understanding it should be implement as a 
V4L2 device which sends picture, like a analog RV modulator. I am not 
sure if there is any existing driver. There is modulator driver for 
audio transmitters, though.

Hans Verkuil is correct person to answer that as he known about 
everything from V4L2.

Mike,

This is the right list. I'm not aware of anyone working on drivers for
that chipset.

I'm not sure I understand your question but let me take a shot at what
I think you mean. I think you mean, how does a developer someone go
about creating a driver for a new product?

1. They announce their intensions on the mailing-list (here), just to
check that no other developer is actively working the same driver.
This isn't mandatory, but can often avoid cases where multiple people
are working on the same end-goal.

2. Wait a week, anyone interested will likely comment very quickly, if
they are already working on something. If you get little or no
feedback then nobody is working in that area.

3. Assuming nobody is working on it (as in your case), go ahead and
start development - or hire someone to engineer the driver on your
behalf.

Then i guess it will not be supported any time soon .... its been for
sale for almost a year.
Im a stay at home dad, not a developer. The chance of me paying some
one to write code is next to nill ....

Thank you for the response  ....

Back to your original question, I'm not sure if this is the right ML...
the device you pointed is a VGA adapter? If so, this is not the right
ML. This one is for webcams, TV, capture devices and video out devices.

AFAICT, VGA adapters are handled by Xorg people.
