Try this in /etc/modules.conf

# V4L / VIA
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 via_v4l_drv
alias char-major-81-1 via_v4l_drv
alias char-major-81-2 via_v4l_drv
                                                                                                        
# bttv
alias char-major-81-3 bttv
options bttv card=56 tuner=1 pll=1 radio=1 gbuffers=16
options tuner type=1 debug=0
pre-install bttv modprobe videodev


Check to make sure the card and tuner numbers are correct for your card.
Because of the via_v4l_drv module I am assuming you are running one of
the epia kernels. Don't forget to run 'depmod -ae' after you make
changes to /etc/modules.conf

Your FlyVideo card will now be accessed on /dev/video3 (char-major-81-3)

Hope this helps
