> hi,
> I would like to play my movies on both monitors (to get bigger picture).
> My first adapter is GeForce2MX and the second one is Riva128. Using
> nvidia driver for GeForce and nv driver for Riva.
> Problem:
> When using Riva's monitor for playing the movies, I must use driver -vo
> x11 to see the picture. Every other possible driver shows black screen
> instead of the picture. But this driver doesn't support scaling, so I
> cannot use fullscreen of both monitors or that scaling...
> When I use -vo xv I can of course use scaling but only GeForce's monitor
> shows the picture (Riva's one doesn't ...).
> So the result is that I can see movies only on ONE monitor or on both of
> them but without fullscreen or scaling (original size ... strange).
> Does any solutions exist for this ? (Excluding buying new card(s)).
> thanks

I'm not sure, if I got your point, but you can use softwarescaling with -vo
x11 and the -zoom option.
You'll need a fast machine then.
Riva128 can't be used with -vo xv ;(
