i have use
modprobe bttv to load the 878 module.
however, when run xawtv it displays:
bash-2.05b$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.91, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.6)

And I find when run xawtv as root, the xawtv will exit with different message:
This is xawtv-3.91, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.5)

And the PC will start to play sound of TV even xawtv "Exit 1"

edit /etc/devfsd and change the v4l permissions from 660 to 666
That should stop the permission denied errors.

My system doesn't have the /etc/devfsd, but it has /etc/devfsd.conf. But there is not v4l in the text file.
(xawtv cannot show picture using root after I configured XF86Config..., it can run as root when the /etc/X11/XF86Config doesn't exist)

REGISTER ^v4l/.* PERMISSIONS root.root 666
A line something like that. Though, on my system, I created a video group and put myself in it.
REGISTER ^v4l/.* PERMISSIONS root.video 660

I just did
chmod og+rw /dev/v4l/*
and xawt can be run as non root users now...
Is it OK?
(the xawtv just show a black screen now with sound)

That's fine as long as you never reboot your computer again... ever.
