No. That just enables some low-level modules like videodev that are
required for ivtv.
You need to upgrade to 2.6.18 or up. The Samsung tuner on your card is
poorly supported in older kernels and this is fixed in 2.6.18.

I've just released ivtv-0.10.0 which superceeds ivtv-0.8.2. That's
probably why you see different version numbers.
