OK. I also made my own testing tree to copy/paste those devices.

Full lsusb below.

I should be able to find a Windows somewhere, but which application
should I use to see if those resolutions are indeed available?
BTW, given the price of the device, I'd be fine getting one for you to
test (6€ from eBay, shipping included).
