Then you chose your terms very badly, "Independent Displays" is defined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145179(VS.85).aspx and it means using them _without_ expanding the desktops to them. That makes using them very similar to a printer (except with a much better refresh rate :-P ). > Finally, my ultimate goal is to be able to start 3 different mplayer > instances, on monitor number 2, 3 and 4. -geometry to tell them where to start (in Window's virtual screen coordinates), and -xineramascreen to specify which one to use for fullscreen (for that the default is -1, which is the screen it is currently on). I am not aware of any issues with that, no idea why -geometry did not work for you... > A secondary goal is to be able > to have an mplayer window spread across 2 or more monitors in certain > situations. -xineramascreen -2 to spread across all monitors. -noborder and -geometry might work out, too, if you do not need aspect adjustment. This case is difficult in the general case, because two or more monitors together might not make up a rectangle in the virtual screen space. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
