[MPlayer-users] new option -xinerama

[Tom Bednarchuk]

I'm pretty sure  that the xv works with ATI as it'll work if I do everything
from the same console. Using x11 works but the cpu utilization is over 50%.
Using Xv its around 15-20%. When I try using Xv, if I mouse onto the video
window I can sort of get it going but there is lots of 'stutters'.

This seems real close, like I can almost smell the solution close by. By the
way, you wouldn't happen to know how to get a true fullscreen, instead of in
a window ?

Anyways thanks for you help so far

Tom
