[MPlayer-users] xv and sdl do not work in high resolution

[Eduardo M Kalinowski]

Hi,

    I recently bought a 19" monitor, configured X to use a higher
resolution (1600x1200), but now neither xv nor sdl work on that
resolution (x11 works, but is terribly slow).

   With xv I get a blue screen. With sdl I get a screen full of
small red crosses. But otherwise the video plays fine, there are no
error messages and I can hear the audio.

   However, if I change the mode with Ctrl+Alt+- / +, then the video
displays correctly in lower resolutions. I don't even need to stop the
player and start again, it just starts displaying and stops if I get
back to the highest resolution.
