There you have to options and when you choose for help (in make menuconfig) you will see the supp. For SAA7115 mentioned).

15 I made the modifications to the kernel you suggested (I couldn't find
16 SAA7115, so I added support for everything else in Device
17 Drivers->Multimedia->V4L that wasn't marked experimental), rebooted with
