the strange thing is that Avidemux plays them no problem at all.
Under M-player I get sound but a blank blue video screen. The lcd
plays them fine too when connected directly to the server. 10.1

I have a dual head setup with Matrox G450, and MPlayer behaves like
that in normal mode. But if I change the video output driver to x11,
MPlayer is able to play (with a moving picture) on both screens.

mplayer -vo x11 yourmovieclip.here.avi

Just got it going. Please ignore the last posting.

Now, can I make that setting stick without having to use the command line
everytime?

Cheers, Steve

X11 should always work on, well, X.
Your videoadapter driver can only allow one video output to be accessed
directly. Not sure if its a hardware o driver issue? You can edit your
xorg.conf file to choose which screen gets direct access (driver
dependent) (cant remember the options, mail me directly if your stuck)
x11 is much slower than xv (default)

That's a pity. You can see it flicker under X11 especially with DVD's. I'd
like to have xv on the second monitor. Is that possible? Is that what you
refer to in your xorg.conf file?
