I don't know if the bttv driver works or not - my bttv card is lying in
its box, and i am not going to dig out my computer from all the stuff it
is buryed beneath in order to test.

Go to bugzilla, select product fedora -> fedora 3, component kernel, and
enter the output of "uname -a" (or better - the correct rpm from "rpm
-qa | grep kernel" - it probably a few will show up. Select the buggy
one.

Type what is wrong, how you reproduce it, etc. It's really easy.
