I looks like ivtv 'should' be _the_ program for this card, but I have not yet been able to get the RPMs to install. Sorry I don't have better news,,, but keep watching this list, when I get it running, I will let you know. so far it looks like you should try the 'multimedia' kernel since it should already be compliled with v4l. have you attempted to urpmi or use MCC to find the/a multimedia kernel (it will have mm in the name of the kernel)?
