Works fine for me - You probably need the CVS version of the CX8800 drivers.

(Assuming kernel 2.6.9)

wget \
http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/video4linux-20041202-142354.tar.gz

tar -xvzf video4linux-20041202-142354.tar.gz
cd video4linux
make
make install
ls /lib/modules/2.6.9/v4l2 \
|xargs -n 1 find /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/media/ -iname \
|xargs rm
depmod -e

You'll need to remove your current drivers - Either through a reboot, or 
manually rmmoding them.

Cheers,

Allan.
