Hello,

I talked to the driver maintainer about this. Your should get the sourcecode 
of 0.8.4 and manually enable the v4l2 plugin (plugins/video/Makefile.am). 
This plugin should work with your card.

The issue is that the driver does not implement a syscall the v4l1 compat 
layer uses to make v4l2 cards v4l1 compatible. This has been fixed about 3 
weeks ago. So maybe you can also get a CVS version of the driver and try it 
with a "normal" kdetv.
