[MPlayer-users] vesa fullscreen

[Lucas Smith]

Hi,

I have a S3 ProSavage/Twister graphics chipset and am trying to get vesa 
video output mode to work. it does too, except that the -fs -zoom options 
dont for some reason work properly. The resolution does change but only 
about a 2/3 of the screen is being used. (runs at 640x325 instead of the 
1024x768 it should be useing). Another odd thing is that when i quit 
mplayer, my term window is blank. reset doesnt help. however running 
SVGATextMode again does.

i have a feeling that the size of the viewable window as recognized by -fs 
has something to do with the size of my term before i run SVGATextMode 
(which happens on boot) cause they are about the same size. i tried useing 
framebuffers, but it didnt help mplayer any. (i dont like framebuffers 
anyway though cause the refresh rate is so slow and scrolling text like when 
ur looking at big man page is a pain in the but) anyway i was wondering if 
there is a way to get -fs to use 1024x768 res...

one quick hack i found was to use the -x and -y options to get the screen 
size right and that does work... but its a bit of a pain everytime to find 
out the dimmensions of the file. do the conversion with bc and then put in 
the parameters by hand....

so it would be nice after all if the -fs actually got the size right in the 
first place :)

cheers
lucas
