RTFM at section 2.3.1.2.11. Quote:

"The problem is that most cards' driver doesn't support hardware
acceleration on the second head/TV. In those cases, you see green/blue
colored window instead of the movie. This is where this driver comes in
handy, but you need powerful CPU to use software scaling. Don't use the
SDL driver's software output+scaler, it has worse image quality!"
