[MPlayer-users] vsync not working

[Etienne SANDRE]

Since some nvidia card owners were interested by launching a second xserver 
for mplayer to watch a movie with vsync and keep a dual-monitor with twinview 
enabled, this is my two little scripts and my XF86Config-4

These scripts are located in my homedir, you may need to modify the path or do 
something nicer. I had to edit the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, replacing 
"console" by "anyone", otherwise you can't run the script from an x session 
(only from a tty console)

startx_player
-----cut here------
#!/bin/sh

#the -geometry parameters hide the xterm out of the desktop,
#it's just nicer.
startx -geometry 50x50+2000+2000 -e ~/startmplayer $1 -- :1 -layout "CRT"
------cut here-----

startmplayer
-----cut here------
#!/bin/bash
#In this file you may add a windowmanager like wmaker 
# or set the sound volumes, etc...
#all blocking programs must be run in the background(&) except this one:
mplayer $1
-----cut here------



This is my XF86Config-4 file, with two ServerLayout sections. The first one 
will be used by default, it is configured with twinview & dual monitors. The 
second one, named "CRT" (this name is given as parameter to startx in the 
script), uses only one monitor WITHOUT twinview.
