Re: Playing videos in external monitor

Thanks!!

It worked perfectly!

The only problem I have now is that when I select full screen on mplayer
looks like the resolution is bigger than the screen res, and I have to
scroll the screen until I center it on the screen.

The dark side of it, is that I have found a green dead pixel on the
screen :'(

Thanks!

I want to play movies in my 20" screen, so how can I do that?

I have been googling a lot without find answers.

Add this to your "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

# === Video Overlay for the Xv extension ===
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
# Xvideo on external screen
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2"
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

Note that Xv output will then be only and always to the external screen.
I have found no way to conveniently turn it on or off. Possibly
fglrx-control can set this up for you too, I can't remember.

Btw, I use the free "ati" driver and it shows Xv on both the internal
and external screen simultaneously without any setup work at all.
