[MPlayer-users] fbdev: screensize is smaller than video size

[justin case]

thevesa driver alway chhoses a res close to the movie res but you can also
tell him -screenw and -screenh to suit it to your monitor. still if it
resizes it has to calculate the _entire_ picure. there might be scenarios
that take a little more cpu but all in all resizing is resizing.

just take your mplayer and see for yourself. i am sure it resizes in
hardware. also why shoudn't it? i don't believe it is such a master trick
for a card that has a scaler on board, anyway.
