If the image produced by -vf screenshot differs from the one displayed
at the same time a driver issue is most likely, yes.
The problem might be in vo_xv.c, too, though. You could try some
combination of options like -dr, -nodr, -slices, -noslices, -double,
-nodouble etc.

That is a bit weird though. Try using -aspect 4/3 -monitoraspect 4/3 in
combination with scaling, maybe the problem is not the input size of the
video, but the size at which it is displayed (these options should force
them to be the same).
