no, i didn't touch it, other than letting CLEXF40032 have its way with 
it.  of course, i only load it once in /etc/modules.conf.

i had problems compiling ivtv as well.  make sure you stick close to 
[http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#_jump09a].  my biggest chink was:
  * copy the config that matches your kernel from
    /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
well, there are 12 options there.  my uname reports i'm running as i686, 
but i had to use kernel-2.4.20-i586.config as my .config to avoid symbol 
not found errors.
