though mine is a fresh FC5 install, and I wasn't sure if I should have a 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 or if xine should use /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 
instead

Though part of my dvb card was being detected and kernel modules loaded, 
the dvb part wasn't, so I created a script saved as 
/etc/sysconfig/modules/saa7134-dvb.modules

#!/bin/sh
modprobe saa7134-dvb >/dev/null 2>&1
for i in `ls -d /dev/dvb/adapter*` ; do
         cd $i
         if [ ! -e video0 ] ; then
                 ln -s dvr0 video0 ;
         fi
         chmod 777 *
done

this loads the missing module, creates a soft link for the video0 
device(s) which makes xine happy for me and sets lazy device 
permissions, I could probably handle those better through udev and user 
groups.
