This question has been running around in my head for months now. Is it possible to use xv overlay to play a movie fullscreen on my TV, but windowed on my computer? (or even minimized on my computer) It would make a great addition to my laptop. That way I can still chat or browse the web while the video just keeps playing fullscreen on the TV. I have asked this question a lot of times, but no one I asked was able to help me. Technically, it should be possible. Because years ago I was able to do this with the same laptop, but in Windows XP. I had to enable something called "Cinema mode" for it to work in the overlay settings window. I hope someone can help me. And just in case the video driver matters: I am using the i810 (intel) driver on this laptop <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> version: <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"> X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux eza 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 18 03:07:14 UTC 2007 i686 Build Date: 20 March 2007</blockquote><div> I hope this list is the right list to ask this question Thanks, </div>-- Wesley Stessens <<a href="mailto:profox@ubuntu-nl.org">profox@ubuntu-nl.org</a> > Human Knowledge Belongs To The World - Antitrust (2001) <a href="http://wesley.debianbox.be">http://wesley.debianbox.be</a>
