there is no /dev/video.

dev-3.2-5 includes /dev/video in RH 7.2. which version of dev package do you
have on you machine?

You should not create symbolic link to /dev/video0 -> /dev/video. In RHL 7.2
/dev/video is a directory, which contains some devices!

kwintv-0.8.5-5 and xawtv-3.54-5 works for me. Which version of kwintv and xawtv
do you have? Please download kwintv in powertools-7.1 and xawtv in 7.2 and try
again.

do you have load bttv modul with correct parameter?

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer included xawtv
in Fedora Core. It has been replaced by tvtime.
Please upgrade to the latest version of Fedora Core and open a new bug
if the problem also occur in tvtime.

If you still use xawtv and this bug still persists, please report the
problem in upstream bug tracker or on mailing list
(usualy they can be found on xawtv website
http://linux.bytesex.org/xawtv/).
If the project don't have bug tracker and mailing list, you should
sent bug report by email to xawtv maintainer.
Also Fedora Legacy Project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some
older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them,
please report the problem in the bug tracker at:
