   this is in XFree86.  Read the README for details.  You have to put the 
line:
Load "v4l"
into the modules section of your XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file.  You must 
have the bttv module loaded when you start X too.  Also, make sure you 
installed qtvision into $KDEDIR, not /usr/local/ or some other place.  KDE 
needs to find the servicetypes and plugins.
