Oh, there is one other possibility: are you using kernel 2.6.15 with the 
kernel-supplied cx25840 module? In that case you much replace it with 
the cx24850 from ivtv. The kernel option to enable the register setting 
support never made it into 2.6.15 (it's in 2.6.16 though) so you cannot 
use the -g option with the kernel's cx25840.

I hope that's it, otherwise I'm running out of ideas :-)
