Hi Michael,

After doing a modprobe ivtv, are you then able to start X? (try the
"startx" command)
If that works, you may have to do what I had to do and explicitly
force the loading of ivtv at boot by adding a "/sbin/modprobe ivtv"
line to your /etc/rc.local
Don't know why it doesn't load automagically, but adding the line
fixed it for me.
Andrew.
