I was thinking that the v4l1 struct definitions changed in 0.2.x as well.
If not, then I guess it doesn't matter.

xawtv: 3.81, XFree86 (from RH 8.0)
v4l2: Dec 10, saa7134: 0.2.2 (Dec 10)
(The Dec 11 snapshot changes code in saa7134 TS, which shouldn't affect my 
 testing)

X11+vesa: works fine, but no Xv obviously
X11+nvidia: B/W whether with Xv or no Xv, in Overlay mode
X11+nvidia: works fine in Grabdisplay mode

I don't know how to start xawtv with v4l1 API.

I suspect in Overlay mode, Xv is interpreting the YUV data incorrectly.
The image is squished to 75% of original (or thereabouts) horizontally.
This doesn't happen with the 0.1.x series saa7134 driver, running xawtv 
3.81.

Curious, does it happen only with NVidia cards, or other cards as well?
