I just recompiled and tried again with the latest beta driver. Same
problems, although I now know I can stop the event/0 process cpu hogging
by unloading the cx18 module. I also copied the firmware to
/usr/lib/firmware, but I think /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware was the right
place.

I still get the mismatch when trying to 'cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg'
("cat: /dev/video0: No such device or address" but it does exist)
cx18-0: Mismatch at offset 10
cx18-0: Retry loading firmware
cx18-0: Mismatch at offset 10
cx18-0: Failed to initialize on minor 0
A final note: the events/0 process is not consistently pegging the cpu
now. In fact at the moment it's calm with the cx18 driver loaded and after
trying to cat /dev/video0.
