LeadTEK Winfast 2000XP Expert - low resolution s-video probl

Post by evarn »

Hi,

I have a LeadTEK Winfast 2000XP Expert and am using it as an input for a outdoor camera.

I know for a fact that the camera does 640x480 and in windows i get 640x480 resoultion, however I only get 320x240 on linux. Is there an option i can use on the cx88xx module to force the higher res?

Here's some info:
