I dont know that card but if linux doesnt auto detect it you are going to need to make it recognise it.
Find out the card number for it if its bt878 or saa7130 based
You will also need a new kernel if its a new card, and thats assuming it will work in linux at all

I have serached on goole for acecop and linux and drew a blank. If you check your messages log when trhe system started it will have detected the card and given it a number (probaly 0) which means it doesnt know how to talk to the card. It need s the correct driver which can be manually forced. But you need to know the bttv card number for your card. Is it manufactured by them or just the software by them etc. You need to find out as much about this card as possible then once we know what it is we can make it work in linux then we can make it work with zm
