[Kwintv] Problem to set-up KDETV

Hello,

please clarify:

1) kdetv does not detect your device (e.g. "Devices" menu is empty)

2) it does not find your SOURCE ("Devices" menu shows your device, but you 
can't select the source you expect)

I suspect case 2, since xvinfo shows that the XVIDEO v4l bridge only finds an 
"svideo" source, and you probably expect a "television" source. I can't do 
anything about that, since the v4l bridge code is totally independent of 
kdetv. You may want to try to use the v4l plugin (devices that are not called 
"video4linux - port XXX", maybe it works better for you.
