[Kwintv] fullscreen mode (was: device problems)

[Rainer Collet]

thanks for your help. i now have a video image. but the reason i tried
qtvision was the disabled "Full screen mode / Switch to this
resolustion" option in kwintv. fullscreen mode works fine in both
applications, but i want them to switch to pal-resolution when in
fullscreen mode, and this does not seem to work in both apps, too :-(
