MPlayer probs on :0.1 (was: Dual-screen setup on a Mobility FireGL 7000M7)

[Ludwig Meyerhoff]

Hallo!

Yes, it's still me.
I want to thank again for the help with setting up Zaphod mode. I now 
have two independent screens running. For this, I am happy.

I do not know wether to start a new thread or continue the old one, as 
the problem I have met now is a side-effect of the one solved at the 
week-end. I will append it to the "old" problem until someone complains.


Beside the connector-assignment discussed and solved during the last 
weeks, there seems to be one more difference to the version I had before.

MPlayer plays videos on :0.0 with no problem, everything is fine.
Befor the update mentioned with the lasto problem, it used to do so on 
:0.1 also.
If I now try to view a video on :0.1, the video output is screwed up. 
Even manually switching the output to XV does not change.
And if I try the X11 output, I get the image, but it does not get scaled 
in any way.

Could it be there is some support missing on the 2nd head which has to 
be specifically enabled?



Saluti!
