[mythtv-users] Setup troubles

I'm running Gentoo with the 2.6.10-gentoo kernel, ivtv-0.2.0_rc3-r3, lirc-0.2.0_rc3-r3 and mythtv-0.17.  The problem I'm having is in the setup for Capture card.  I select PVR-250/350, and type in /dev/v4l/video0, but it doesn't give me any options for default input.  And if I go back and review the settings it switches it back to /dev/video.  On the console I get:
2005-03-26 14:14:23.688 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video

Here's an ls of /dev/v4l/*
myth v4l # ls -la /dev/v4l/*

When I do a lspci -v I get

Finally here's an lsmod
