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
