[kopete] webcam

My webcam works almost fine in Kopete. There is just one problem. The webcam has a resolution of 640x480, but I think Kopete i trying to access it at 320x240. So Kopete does not grab the whole image, but only the middle of the image, at a resolution of 320x240 (?). Above is the ouput when accessing the webcam configuration dialogue.

Is there any possibility to tell kopete that a resolution of 640x480 should be used?

Thank you in advance.

Here are two pictures, just in order to show what I mean.
The first picture shows the configuration dialogue, the second picture is a snapshot from a short clip I recorded with mplayer, using the full resolution of 640x480.

Just added a third picture, showing the image that Kopete is sending to a contact.

Sure, I will file this bug. And hope it gets fixed.

But somehow, I do not believe this is a bug in Kopete. Don't you think this is a problem with the driver? I mean, when you look at the ouput:

kopete: [int Kopete::AV::VideoDevice::showDeviceCapabilities()] Card model: OV518+/OV7620 (cid=0)
kopete: [int Kopete::AV::VideoDevice::showDeviceCapabilities()] Card name : OV518+/OV7620 (cid=0)
kopete: [int Kopete::AV::VideoDevice::showDeviceCapabilities()] Capabilities:

kopete: [int Kopete::AV::VideoDevice::showDeviceCapabilities()]     Max res: 32767 x 32767
kopete: [int Kopete::AV::VideoDevice::showDeviceCapabilities()]     Min res: 1 x 1


I mean, the resolution values are completely insane.
But as I said, I'm going to file the bug, so one can start working.
