I am trying to use axwtv-3.24-1 with my bttv compatible TV Card. kudzu detected my card corectly /etc/modules.conf ... alias char-major-81 bttv ...

Use /dev/video0 instead (xawtv -c /dev/video0). The latest devices.txt file has device nodes inside of the /dev/video directory, so having /dev/video be a symlink to /dev/video0 is not possible. This will be fixed in a future version of the xawtv package.
