I ran into the same problem with ATI GATOS experimental driver (km) as well.
When I tried to capture video, all I got was a freeze and blinking CAPS 
+ SCROLL lock.
Kernel magic SysRq keys worked, though.

I tried it on kernel-2.4.18.11-1-1mdk
So this may not be related to bttv driver at all, rather v4l issue in 
general.
