[MPlayer-users] fullscreen question - works on one machine, doesn't on another

[thewade]

Hello,

I am loving the mPlayer mozilla plugin and have yet to explore using 
mplayer instead of totem-xine as a dvd player. Right now though I am 
having some trouble with the mozilla mplayer plugin from Firefox on FC4.

I have a Pentium laptop with a 1600x1200 screen and I used yum and the 
livna.org's version of mplayer - MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-4.0.2. This 
machine works fine except for occasionaly locking up Firefox. This is a 
known bug and is fixed in CVS.

My problem is with another machine, a AMD64 laptop in i386 mode with a 
1280x900 screen - also MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-4.0.2. This machine has not 
had the problem with locking Firefox, but when I try to go to 
fullscreen mode I just get a black screen with the video playing at the 
same size as the normal view centered. I thought this might be because 
of the weird aspect ratio so I included in the ~/.mplayer/config file:
monitoraspect=16:9
But that doesn't seem to do anything. I looked through the mplayer man 
page but couldn't find anything.

How do I get the AMD machine to do fullscreen and why didn't it work by 
default like the Pentuim machine?

Thank you for the help and for working on mPlayer!
