On my machine I am running xawtv in corner of my screen in order to keep

I run xawtv with the instruction to use video1 (xawtv -c /dev/video1) and
keep the Skype on video0.
In order to achieve that I have to give a "#modprobe bttv" before using
xawtv. I assume that there must an easier way to achieve that but did not
find out the howto.
Could somebody help me out?

Try
alias char-major-81-1 bttv
in /etc/modprobe.d/*-tv.conf

HTH,
