At the moment only a program has been implemented, dummyfill, which draws squares with random colours and random directions bouncing all the time, it does not consume much CPU and can be configured at execution time specifing FPS, colour-depth and resolution.

Installation

You need v4l or v4l2 support in your kernel, it's been tested with v4l loopback device versions > 0.91.

To install it just type make
