Error loading bt878 module

[Frank Kumro]

well i put that into my modprobe.conf and i got errros and then i 
uncommented the i2c stuff and now matter what I did I would always get 
/dev/video0 doesnt exist. So i removed all of it and reloaded the 
module...still /dev/video0 doesnt exist. Its not even showing up now...argh
