Hi uvc && v4l developers,

My Vimicro USB Camera (Altair) driver info shown as below:

I use v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --set-fmt-video=width=640,height=480
but the camera Format Video Capture Width/Height is still 320/240
Also I tried to use libv4l2 API to VIDIOC_S_FMT, but failed
https://github.com/xiangzhai/laserkbd/blob/master/laser_kbd_neo/src/port/linux/powervideocap_linux.cpp#L130

And I use v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --list-formats-ext
there is NO 640x480 resolution! But my friend use Windows 7 can set
resolution to 640x480

ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
        Index       : 0
        Type        : Video Capture
        Pixel Format: 'YUYV'
        Name        : YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)
                Size: Discrete 320x240
                        Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)

                        Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps)

Please someone give me some advice, thanks a lot!
