From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020311 Description of problem: Video is not scaling properly when running xawtv using its fullscreen/XVideo mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: run `xawtv -xv -f` Actual Results: Video only filled top half of screen, stretched horizontaly to fill the space. The bottom half of the screen is a blue field. Expected Results: Video should be scaled by XFree86's XVideo extension so that it fills the entire screen. Additional info: The v4l module is loaded by XFree86. The XVideo extension also loads properly. Xawtv worked fine in fullscreen/XVideo mode with Redhat Linux 7.2 on the same system. The only changes are the upgrade of RPMs to the Skipjack packages.
A while after submitting this bug I realized that my NVidia X driver was at fault. Unfortunately, I was using NVidia's proprietary driver, which seems to have fallen behind XFree86 again. Using XFree86's driver fixes the problem, at the cost of losing hardware accelerated 3-D graphics. NVidia's fault, not Redhat or XFree86's.
