[MPlayer-users] Fullscreen on TV = wrong resolution detected?

[David Woodfall]

On (17:30 03/12/07), David Woodfall <dave at unrealize.co.uk> put forth the proposition:
> Hi, I play movies on my TV (Nvidia 6800GT TV-out) but when I switch to

I read now that according to the docs, the correct way to use TV-out with
Mplayer is to use Twinview clone mode. I have found that if X is configured
with 2 screens, xinerama is off and without using Twinview, I can
fullscreen a video on :0.1, but as I said fullscreen only works right if
both screens are using the same resolution.

Isn't this the point of the -display option (which is redundant when using
Twinview)? It would be great if someone could look at this, because Mplayer
should be using info from -display to render fullscreen correctly. Or is this
a problem with video drivers, Xorg or something else?
