You should have a Device section looking like the following, notice the
Driver line ivtvdev rather than fbdev, but the Option is still fbdev,
where the device should be the one reported in the syslog.

You will need the ivtvdev_drv.o file and put it in the driver directory
for X11 where it can be found by your X server. This driver can be
downloaded from: http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
    Driver      "ivtvdev" 
    # Modify if using another device
    Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
    # Obtain from lspci
    BusID       "02:00:0"
EndSection

Also, I think you may have to load the ivtv-fb module, if not already
done.
