Hmm, the module was in 2.6.9, but you had to enable it to build on the
video4linux page when you run make xconfig for the kernel.
Looks like this:
[M] Connexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support
   [M] DVB Support for cx2388x based TV cards

It seems to be gone in 2.6.10rc1. Your best bet at the moment seems to
be kernel 2.6.7 with the video4linux snapshot built in addition if you
want working nova-t model 90002 (is this your card?).

Just do ./autogen.sh, then ./configure.

It reports the available frontends to use/tune, so you can validate if
you have a proper set up of modules.

[hmm]# xawtv -hwls
This is xawtv 4.0-pre, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.10-rc1)

probing dvb devices ...
 [dvb] /dev/dvb/adapter0     Philips TDA10045H

probing vbi devices ...
[...]

In this case I know the proper modules are loaded for the nova-t model
909.
