Hmmm ... the driver in av7110_hw.h knows about

  #define VID_NONE_PREF           0x00    /* No aspect ration processing preferred */
  #define VID_PAN_SCAN_PREF       0x01    /* Pan and Scan Display preferred */
  #define VID_VERT_COMP_PREF      0x02    /* Vertical compression display preferred */
  #define VID_VC_AND_PS_PREF      0x03    /* PanScan and vertical Compression if allowed */
  #define VID_CENTRE_CUT_PREF     0x05    /* PanScan with zero vector */

but in av7110_av.c it only uses:

  VID_PAN_SCAN_PREF    for argument VIDEO_PAN_SCAN
  VID_VC_AND_PS_PREF   for argument VIDEO_LETTER_BOX
  VID_CENTRE_CUT_PREF  for argument VIDEO_CENTER_CUT_OUT

in the ioctl VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_FORMAT the rest is EINVAL.

Andre: you may extend the header file
include/linux/dvb/video.h by appending two more
numbers in the enum type video_displayformat_t
and then add the two new cases into the
video ioctl VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_FORMAT in av7110_av.c

Don't know if this makes a difference. The ioctl
VIDEO_SET_ATTRIBUTES seems to be a nop.
