Thanks Andreas. Sorry I am new to linux. I didn't know there are xawtv 
packages in Debian. Anyway, I compiled xawtv, but it runs an error:

$ xawtv
$ This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.2.20-idepci)
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available

The video capture card and sound card all works fine in window 2k boot 
mode, it seems I missed lots of things during detain installation.

Gosh, really didn't realize it is such hard. I'll continue to bother the 
list (my apology) and to try to fix it for one more days before I am 
giving up my linux endeavor.

Thank you.

Peace.

Yuja
