   The current plugin uses Xv for input and assumes that you have Xv scaling 
support in your video card.  Apparently you do not.  If you have an ATI, 
Matrox or NVidia card, you might need to get a special driver for this.  
Otherwise we probably will not do video mode switching for a while.  We do 
need to add support to the plugins so they can determine the maximum scalable 
size and behave accordingly, but this is not a high priority item either.  I 
expect the functionality which you are looking for will be provided directly 
by the v4l plugin when it is available.
