0.8 is working with mythtv from atrpms I have/had an install that did
work (not anymore as i broke it). However if you want to use ivtvdev
you will need to patch it for it to work with Xorg 7.1. With the
ivtvdev source and a patch it will be easy to build.

If you do not need ivtvdev I would go for FC6 but you might run into
unforeseen issues which the guides do not cover (yet)

PS: I am no dev of ivtv, just a happy user :-)
