But now that you mentoned Xv I remembered to look at loadaded XFree86 modules. And guess what I found: I did forget to load the v2l module. After adding it to the XFree86 configuration file and restart the XFree86 server I got the expected behaviour on Skipjack: no restriction on the tv image size (except that the aspect ratio is kept). Thank you very much.
