Although ATrpms is a great way to get a lot of compatible software 
installed quickly, whenever you use it to install kernel modules, you 
set yourself up for dependency thrashing:  If you want to upgrade a 
package that depends on a kernel module, you also have to upgrade the 
kernel and every other kernel module and every other package that 
depends on a kernel module.  If, after that, something doesn't work 
right, good luck figuring out what caused the problem.

My suggestion is to go to ivtvdriver.org and follow the instructions to 
install from source.  Then, if you want to upgrade the driver in the 
future, all you have to do is repeat the process.  That could well 
happen because Hans & Co. appear to be on the verge of fixing some 
long-standing bugs that you may run into.

Just my 2 cents.

Bill
