thanks for the reply, thats what I though at first too, since the first 
line in the dmesg output is usually something about autodetecting the 
card.  lspci gives:

00:14.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc
iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

before and after running "modprobe ivtv"

It however will *sometimes* not see the card after trying to load the 
ivtv-fb module (which always fails with the error described below)  The 
only way to get it back when it does go away is to pull the power and 
card out, wait a minute, then plug it back in.
