"No such device" probably means no kernel driver was registered at that
device file.
* If you have loaded bttv driver plus a driver for your usb camera there
are two V4L devices simultaneously available. -> Be sure to start xawtv
with the "-c <n>" option to select the device you want.
* Under Redhat 7.1 there is a directory called "/dev/video", but no
symlink called "/dev/video" to /dev/video0 - as usual for many other
Linux distributions. If this should cause trouble rename the directory to
anything else and create the symlink. (Of course, the device files in
that renamed directory can't be accessed by existing applications any more
then. I don't know exactly but it seems those devices files are only
related to certain MPEG hardware with a EM8300 chip. If you don't use such
a card,....)

"depmod -a" before the first "modprobe bttv".
