I tried recompiling the kernel myself and got the same results
I gave pre 17 a try and noticed that xawtv gave me the following  error
messages

This is xawtv-2.46, running on Linux/i686 (2.2.13-17mdk)
wmhooks: kde
x11: 1070x802, 16 bit/pixel, 2144 byte/scanline, DGA, VidMode
waitpid: No child processes
v4l: 1070x802, 16 bit/pixel, 2144 byte/scanline
WARNING: v4l and dga disagree about the framebuffer base
WARNING: you probably want to insmod the bttv module with "vidmem=0xe60"

WARNING: you might have to compile bttv with -DNODGA to make this work
WARNING: overlay mode disabled

I solved my problem with insmod bttv vidmem=0xe60 without having to
compile bttv with -NODGA but I find it confusing for as far as I am
concerened, the new i2c module has just made things more difficult.
