Description Bernd Steinhauser 2007-08-01 13:42:32 UTC

If using mplayer on dual head layouts with different size of the monitors mplayer
will not scale correctly on one of them (for me it is the smaller one).
This can be circumvented by using the xineramascreen option, but there is now a
patch for mplayer so it detects the current screen size automatically.
This seems to be related to #138802 
See also:
http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=495

So please bring the patch into portage or update mplayer to revision >=r23896.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get Dual-Head Layout working with different screen sizes
2. Emerge mplayer using xinerama use flag
3. Play a video file, move it to the other screen an make it fullsizes
