I went back to the old kernel 

camille ~ # uname -a
Linux camille 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Sat Dec 13 17:31:25 CST 2008 i686
GNU/Linux


and the video worked, at least from /dev/v4l/video0.  This is a
temporary solution, but now I can't get mythtv to work.  LiveTV won't
work, and it won't show my upcoming programs.  I've verified that mysql
is running:

camille ~ # ps ax | grep mysql
16099 ?        Ssl    0:52 /usr/sbin/mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --basedir=/usr
--datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
--socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock


and when I run mythbackend and frontend in a terminal, I get this:

camille ~ # mythbackend
