Re: [xine-user] nVidia TwinView and Xine

[Sage <sa...@ca...>]

It does this on both the default output window and in full screen.
Interestingly enough, when I run Xine fullscreen, it will only run
"fullscreen" on one monitor - that is to say, it does not stretch across
both monitors.  This, I think, is how TwinView is supposed to work, so
that's not a problem.  However, even when playing fullscreen, the scale is
messed up:  The video is twice as wide as it should be.

I believe the problem is that Xine is attempting to calculate the resolution
from X, and X is returning the entire width of the combined two monitors
rather than the actual width of one screen.  I have not tested this with a
dual-card Xinerama setup.  Does anyone know if this problem exists using the
regular Xinerama extensions as well?  Anybody know how I can fix this?
