[xine-devel] Easy, clear cool hack to be done.

[<ed...@ta...>]

Hi,

I have a problem and I believe most of you have the same problem. I have 
a 17 inch display and 1280x1200 resolution (or similar). I use Linux, 
and xine. And I'd like to use the Full Screen video mode. But Image gets 
jumpy when I do.

Xine don't change screen's size, and my computer is not fast enough to 
show all the frames full 1280x1200 fast enough.

So I have to use crtl+alt+- to make X Server zoom my desktop and then 
keep making the Xine screen large enough until I have a Xine window 
slighly bigger that the zoomed area, and then I put the zoom borders 
into that window.

It is nasty compared with Windors Medla Plager, yet it is an important 
advatatge. Having the hability to maintain the X Server's Resolution 
gives Xine an important advantage. If someone decides to take an IMAX 
film and mpeg it full density so we can see unbelievable IMAX films on 
our computers. You'll be unable to do it with windors computers.

So here is my solution.

What if Xine, instead of zooming out to the XServer maximum Borders 
zooms out to the opened actual Zoomed area so we can adjust Xine with 
our computers velocity making the display zoom into with CTRL+alt++ and 
then zooming out Xine?

I think this is pretty easy to be done, and XServer is full documented 
yet I'm not a good developer to do the job.

PS: It would be great if Xine's left button click over the screen would 
make the zoom in-zoom-out function. Pretty usefull for touch screens.
PS2: And finally, at the same time somebody hacks the zoom in, could you 
make the right click open the control window close to the mouse? 
Sometimes you zoom and you don't see the control into the zoomed area.
