Given the picture quality I dunno that I'd want to scale > it up to 640x480, but if I could get cif out it that would be nice. there aren't a lot of testing tools available, but as part of /usr/ports/devel/linux-kmod-compat/work/linux_compat/ you find a simple program, pwcview.c, which lets you open the camera with different sizes (sif, cif, vga) so you can test which format is supported by the driver. It might be that vic tries 320x240 (sif ?) and not finding that falls back to a lower resolution. cheers luigi
