hello all!
for quite a long time i'm trying to do the following:
my favorite vidoegame, perfect dark, has a great multiplayer. but its alwas
with a split-screen. (horizontal or vertikal..). so i wanted to split such a
split screen on to two tvs.
so the aim is to split a v4l device input into two monitors.
i have a matrox g400 dualhead graphic card. and one vga2scart converter, so i
only need one tv-out. the other one can be a normal vga out..
so far so good..
i've tried it with the drivers, from matrox. and then i used a xinerama system
two split the picture to two monitors.. but for the tv-out, the matrox-driver
only supports the x11 video-output driver. and here's the problem: so i get a
liztlle delay on the picture.. for gaming, this isn't good.
so i did try the wonderful "mplayer-matrox g400-tv-out driver" and its
perfect, this meens, no delay. but i only got a clone-mode. with this
driver..
is it possible to do something like a xinerama with this tv-out driver? or
perhaps only a "normal" dualhead, with two diffrent screens.. (one tv, one
monitor) ?. i could also put a second tv-card in my computer..
(i didn't find anything about this in the mplayer documentation or somewhere
else in the internet (google)
any suggestions?
thx!
greetings, oli
ps. sorry about my bad english
