OK.  I tried this.  I could only get "x11" to work which does not
scale up to 640x480.

Hmmmm.  I wish.  :-)

Well, I have an Athlon 800 so I am willing to have unaccellerated
video on the TV, but when I do "mplayer -vo sdl -fs" with DISPLAY set
to :1.1 (I am running the G400 on a second Xserver in my machine) all
I get is a black screen on the TV as mplayer runs.  If I leave out the
"-fs" I get a black box on the TV the size of the video I am trying to
view.

It seems that sdl does not actually want to display on the 2nd head on
my G400.

Can I bother you for your XF86Config(-4) file?

How do you start mplayer if you don't do it on the :0.0 display?

Right back atcha!
