Xawtv no picture

hello guys,
I need help on xawtv. My tv card is listed as card number 21 ( image world conference tv card bt878). When i start Xawtv, i get a black image even if i tune the frequency. After examening i saw that in the sources tab only my usb camera is listed and the tv card is not listed so there could be a problem concerning bttv modules. Can somebody help me i am running redhat 9?

This is what my error log tells me:

I think the card isn't compatible with linux. Try locating a generic driver for it.
