It's rather simple.
bttv is already included in the kernel,
if you roll your own, select bttv under
Video for Linux.
Edit your /etc/conf.modules and add:
pre-install bttv /sbin/modprobe tuner
options -k bttv card=3
options -k tuner type=2
then go get xawtv-2.46-11mdk.i586.rpm
from any MandrakeCooker mirror site,
I believe it's in the contrib area.
modrpobe bttv and start up xawtv, and
you should be set to go.
