Bug 127936 – media-video/mplayer-bin-1.0.20060217 lacks xinerama support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rick van Hattem 2006-03-28 19:43:36 UTC]

I've noticed that after upgrading to media-video/mplayer-bin-1.0.20060217 (and possibly X.org 7.0) mplayer doesn't work with xinerama anymore.
This gives me the problem that the mplayer window gets way too wide because it fails to detect that I run a dual monitor setup. This happends with -vo gl, gl2 and xv, because x11 uses software rendering it doesn't have the same problem.

The other ebuild (media-video/mplayer-bin-1.0_pre7-r3) does work correctly.

If others have this problem, I forgot to tell that you can work around it by putting media-video/mplayer-bin-1.0.20060217 in /etc/portage/package.mask.

This will mask this mplayer-bin build so the portage won't install this one anymore but up- or downgrade to another version.

I've noticed there's a new version of mplayer-bin (mplayer-bin-1.0.20060302) but it still has the same problem.

[Comment 4 Marc Schaubach 2006-04-05 11:31:07 UTC]

As noted by Rick, mplayer-bin-1.0.20060302 does not have xinerama support here either.. please recompile with xinerama flag..  This is almost become unusuable in it's current state.

This is still a problem in mplayer-bin-1.0.20060302, and it's completely unusable for a lot of people.

Fixed in 1.0.20060408.
