The patch above appears to delete the line ".no_video" from the driver for the card in question. I don't see this line in 2.6.15, which is the earliest kernel code I have to hand, which suggests that this change was accepted, and if your kernel is 2.6.15 or newer (possibly earlier - google suggests it probably went in in 2.6.12-rc4 - so 2.6.12 or newer is fine) you should have this change already. See running kernel with; $ cat /proc/version I'll let others with capture cards comment on their choice of software. Xandros must have a kernel more recent than 2.6.11 available, so probably you should just make sure the software installed is up to date, especially the kernel package, as any more recent kernel package will probably "just work".
